spied an open window next to the door. Slowly, she inched her fingers toward the wi ndowsill, pushing<br />

the<br />

window open wider. Taking a deep breath, she whirled around and squeezed through. Her back hit<br />

something<br />

soft. A mattress. She pulled the window shut. The dog barked and scratched at Jas<strong>on</strong>’s door. Aria’s<br />

chest heaved in and out as she listened to her heart pound. Then she looked around. The room was dark<br />

and empty. There was a coatrack near the door, but the hooks were bare.<br />

Aria reached into her pocket for her ph<strong>on</strong>e and dialed Jas<strong>on</strong>’s number. It went immediately to voice<br />

mail.<br />

Aria hung up, laid the ph<strong>on</strong>e <strong>on</strong> the bed, and stood. The dog was still barking; she didn’t dare try to<br />

leave.<br />

The apartment was basically a big studio divided into a bedroom, a dining area, and a small TV nook.<br />

There<br />

was a bathroom at the far end of the room, and a bunch of bookshelves off to the right. She walked<br />

around<br />

the room, inspecting the Hemingway, Burroughs, and Bukowski books <strong>on</strong> Jas<strong>on</strong>’s shelf. He had a little<br />

print<br />

of a drawing by Eg<strong>on</strong> Schiele, <strong>on</strong>e of Aria’s favorite artists. She crouched down and ran her finger al<strong>on</strong>g<br />

the<br />

spines of his DVDs, noting the many foreign films. There were pictures <strong>on</strong> his little kitchen island, many<br />

of<br />

which looked like they’d been taken at Yale. Some were of a petite, smiling girl with dark hair and<br />

darkframed<br />

glasses. In <strong>on</strong>e of the photos, they both wore matching Yale T-shirts. In another, they were at what<br />

looked like a football game, holding red cups of beer. In another, she was kissing him <strong>on</strong> the cheek, her<br />

nose<br />

squished into his face.<br />

Bile rose to Aria’s throat. Maybe this was the secret A had told her about. But why had Jas<strong>on</strong> asked her<br />

to<br />

come over? To make it clear that he <strong>on</strong>ly liked Aria as a friend? She shut her eyes, limp with<br />

disappointment.
