"Cass."
She didn't answer right away.
Then she said. "Don't start."
"Don't start what?"
"The lecture."
"You think I'm about to lecture you?"
"I think you're about to tell me how reckless I was."
"You were reckless."
She laughed once. No humor in it. "There it is."
"You left without telling me where you were going."
"I went out with Harlow and Tessa."
"I didn't know that."
"You could have called."
"I did."
"My phone was in my purse."
"And that makes it better?"
She turned then. Pulling the sheet higher over her chest as she faced me. Her hair was a mess around her face. Her lips still swollen. But her eyes were clear.
Too clear.
That was never good.
"You don't get it," she said.
"Then explain it."
"I wanted one night where I didn't feel like I was waiting for you."
