“When she found out where I lived, she showed up at my apartment. I

wouldn’t let her in and she broke in the next day when I was at work. Went

through all my things. Read my journal.”

“You have a journal?”

I’m just as nosy as her mother. Worse, probably.

Mara snorts. “Not anymore. And I moved the next week. She can’t stand not

knowing where I am. Not having control over me. Not having the power to

fuck up my life. She used to show up at my job, trying to get me fired …” she

trails off, laughing softly to herself. “Actually, you two have a lot in

common. You might really get along.”

“Oh, fuck off. First of all, I’m way better at finding people than she is. She

wishes she had my skills. And second, I don’t fuck up your life, I fix it.”

“I know,” Mara says, her expression serious. “I’m grateful to you Cole, do

you know that?”

“You better be. I’m taking you to Betsy’s party tonight.”

“Are you really?” she squeaks. Then, her excitement fading, “What about

Shaw?”

“He’ll probably be there.”

“What does that mean? What will we do?”

“Nothing in the middle of a gallery. And neither will he. It’s safe.”

“I don’t want to see him, though.” Mara shudders.

“We can’t avoid him in this city. Besides, I want him to see that you’re living

with me, if he doesn’t already know. I want him to see you under my

protection. If we talk to him, I’ll make him believe there’s a truce. That I’ll

leave him alone as long as he stays away from you.”

“Will you?” Mara asks, her fog-gray eyes fixed on my face.

“Never.”
