I was woken up by the blaring of Leo’s assigned ringtone to find myself laying half-sprawled over Rohan. He gave me an absent smile, his focus on the sheet music balanced on his knees.

Blearily, I reached for my phone, almost knocking over the Tiffany’s box with the sapphire necklace stashed once more inside. “Hello?”

“Have you been online this morning?” Leo asked.

Scrambling out of bed, I searched both of Ro’s closets until I found a housecoat to borrow. “Not yet. Why?”

I blew a kiss at him, closed the bedroom door behind me, and headed downstairs into the living room.

“Good. Don’t. Preferably ever, but definitely not for the next several weeks.”

I put her on speaker, typing my name into Google as fast as I could. The articles with the most views were the ones featuring me giving the finger with my sham engagement ring on. They were all headlined with some variation of “Rohan’s new fiancée doesn’t give a damn what you think of her.”

None of them were written by Tia. Fingers crossed that meant she was planning on showing to our rendezvous today.

“It’s not that bad,” I said. If this was the sum total of carnage as a result of our engagement stunt, I could live with that.

“If you really want to see the worst of it?” Leo sighed. “Go to page two of the search.”

“They dug up Stefan?” I shook the phone like I was wringing his scrawny neck. “That bastard. I was the one sleeping my way through campus? Hey, pot.” Sparks flew off my skin. “Did Cole say anything?”

“No. They asked him, but he’s keeping his mouth shut. Too much respect for you, he said. Speaking of respect, thanks for the bare minimum warning text, by the way. TMZ called me twice this morning.”

“I’m really sorry.” Leo could handle herself, but my stomach cramped up in a knot at the idea of reporters poking into who she was.

“The good news,” she said, “is that you’re even being gossiped about on the demon dark web. So this Tia is bound to hear about you.”

“Already meeting her. Wait. There’s a demon dark web and you didn’t tell me?”

“I didn’t know until today. Harry showed me. There is some deeply disturbing shit there.” Awesome. Even Harry, Leo’s ancient, curmudgeonly boss was keeping up with my bad press. On second thought, eh. That slander wasn’t great, but it wasn’t like his opinion of me could go much lower.

“Sleeping with me and Samson, were you?” Rohan stood in the living room doorway, naked, holding up his phone. “Poor guy. So devastated he killed himself over you.”

“Come oooooonnnn.” I buried my face in my hands.

“Hi, Ro!” Leo called out. “Don’t let her go any further down the social media rabbit hole, okay? It’s vicious.”

“Too late,” he said. “She’s looking for my–nope. Found my laptop.”

Leo made a “grrrr” sound. “Nee, please don’t take this personally.”

“Yeah, yeah. It’s totally impersonal. Love you. Schmugs.”

“Schmugs,” she said and hung up.

Ro gently closed the laptop. “She’s right. Don’t do this.
