“No,” he says, his tempering rising a little as he grabs my arm. I let my eyes go wide and look at his hand, taking a sharp breath in. “I’m sorry, Fay,” he says, releasing me and shaking his head. “My temper – I am not good –” “She said that you were…the weakest…” I…

I only realize what I’m doing with my hand when Jerome bursts out laughing and then I blush and smack him, telling him to shut the hell up, though I can’t help laughing myself. The result, of course, is that by the time we both spill into the house we’re laughing hysterically at our new…

“Causes chaos, you mean,” she replies, still trying to shut the door – but she’s only got one free hand, and I’ve got two. “Okay, I buy that,” I say, holding my weight against the door until she gives up, glaring at me. “Please,” I say, my eyes wide and, I hope, showing my earnest…
