Hayden rolled over and groaned. She felt like complete shit. She had no idea why she felt so horrible. She opened her eyes and shut them quickly. Damn, it was bright. Was she hungover? She couldn’t remember.

She squinted her eyes open this time and looked around.

What the fuck? Where was she? The room looked vaguely familiar to her, but she couldn’t place it. Hayden sat up in a panic and looked around.

She was on a king-size bed and had been covered with a dark green fluffy quilt. She looked down and saw that she was wearing a large T-shirt with a cartoon cow on it. There was a speech bubble over the cow that said, Think Chicken.

Hayden was confused, and it almost hurt to think. She knew she didn’t own a shirt like the one she was currently wearing. She wasn’t wearing any pants, but had her panties on. Her feet were bare and her hair had been pulled back into a low ponytail on the back of her neck. She felt grimy and her mouth tasted like something had crawled in there and died.

Hayden moved her legs to the side of the bed and sat there for a moment, trying to get the energy to stand up and get out of there, wherever there was. She looked back to where she’d been lying—and saw Ellie the Elephant. She reached over and grabbed her precious stuffed animal and held it to her chest.

Oh my God…what the ever loving hell was going on?

Hayden heard a noise from across the room and looked up quickly, ready to do…something. She had no idea what, but she wouldn’t sit around and be a victim.

“Hey, Hay. How do you feel?”

It was Boone. He was leaning against the doorjamb, legs crossed at his ankles, looking cool and relaxed, but when Hayden looked again, she could see dark bags under his eyes and the concern in them as he gazed at her.

“Confused.”

Boone nodded. “I expected as much. Feel like a shower?”

“Uh huh.”

“Okay, go ahead and jump in,” Boone told her, gesturing to a door to the side. “There’s stuff for you to put on when you get out and a new toothbrush by the sink. When you’re done, come on out. We’ll talk after you get something to eat.”

“I’m at your house?” Hayden asked the question, but realized why it had looked familiar to her when she’d first opened her eyes. She recognized it now from that first day when she’d taken a look around trying to find proof Dana had been lying.

“Yeah.”

Hayden eyed Boone. He hadn’t moved, and was going out of his way to try to make her feel at ease. She wasn’t sure it was working, but she appreciated the effort. He looked tired, and anxious, and he sure as shit wasn’t relaxed.

“Hayden?”

She looked up. “Yeah?”

Boone paused and ran a hand over his head before he looked back up at her and asked carefully. “Do you mind if I give you a hug?”

Hayden could only shake her head.
