Though she did leave an empty latte cup outside my door.<br />

“I can understand not bothering with Stella and Adara. . . .”<br />

Nicole lifts up her hamburger bun and gives the contents a wary<br />

look. “. . . they’ve been hideous harpies since the day I got here.”<br />

She drops the bun and pushes her plate away.<br />

“Longer,” Troy adds. “Those two have been up to no good since<br />

they were five. We can’t expect them to change now.”<br />

“But Griffin,” Nicole says.<br />

“Yeah.” Troy’s eyes light up. “Blake deserves to be taken down a<br />

notch or two.”<br />

“I could do a few heinous things to him without losing sleep.”<br />

Nicole clearly harbors serious feelings of resentment over whatever<br />

happened between her and Griffin in the past. I’m not about to let<br />

her thirst for revenge push me into action.<br />

“No,” I say definitively. “I don’t want to do anything to any of<br />

them. No revenge. Got it?”<br />

Humiliation is bad enough. I just want to forget about it and<br />

move on.<br />

I look at each of them, waiting for verbal consent.<br />

Reluctantly, Troy nods his head. “Fine.”<br />

Nicole, on the other hand, is cagier. “No promises.” When I stare<br />

her down, she adds, “But I’ll leave you out of whatever I do. Okay?”<br />

I say, “Okay.”<br />

Still, I’m a little worried.<br />

Nicole can be unpredictable—if she can zap away my ankle without<br />

a second thought, who knows what revenge she’s going to exact<br />

on Griffin. If he weren’t the scum of the earth—and I didn’t know she<br />

couldn’t actually kill him—I might feel inclined to warn him.<br />
