I move to my bedroom window to look out. Dad’s car isn’t there, and that makes me feel better because I don’t plan to check that off my list right now.

I also need… Turning, I face Kelsey again. “Are you going to see Dex? If so, I’ll follow you up there and see him then, too.”

“Yeah.” A frown pulls at her sleepy expression. “I just… I don’t know what the hell I’m going to say to him.” She kicks at the covers again. “I can’t imagine how pissed he’s going to be at me.”

“I don’t see him being pissed at you.”

“Well, he should be. He almost died.”

I drop down on the bed beside her. “This isn’t on you, Kelsey. So stop thinking it is.”

She sits up. “I was a bitch to him when he asked what happened to my mom.”

“Yeah, you were. And while I understand you went off on him because you didn’t want to talk about what happened to your mom, maybe you should apologize for that.”

She pulls a knee to her chest and hugs it. “I suck at apologies.” She closes her eyes as if fighting tears, and after a few minutes, she looks at me. “Seriously, if he hadn’t come in when he did, Charles might have… He had his gun against my face.”

“I know. We both owe Dex a thank-you.”

She gazes toward the window and stares at the streams of sunshine spilling in. “I wonder why he didn’t tell me he has a black sister.”

“Have you ever asked if he had any siblings? Talked about his family?”

“No.”

“Then why would he tell you?”

She bites down on her lip. “You’re right. I just—”

“You just don’t like it that some of your reasons for not giving him a chance are falling apart.”

That earns me an eyeroll, along with an “I gotta pee.”

I watch her run off. Call me crazy, but the possibility of something good coming out of what happened last night lifts my gloomy mood. Not much, mind you, but I’ll take it.

I reread Hayden’s message and type. Thanks for the Dex update. See u later.

I set my phone down, but Kelsey’s questions replay in my head. So what now? Is he dumping Brandy? Are you two back together?
