CHAPTER 53
ETHAN STILL HAD no idea about Jay and me. I suppose some stupid part of me had been hoping that if I pretended it never happened, it would all go away.

“I had that argument with Skinner,” I said, still with my eyes shut.
“The bust-up after Ethan made bail, or another one?” Emmy asked.
“Just that one.”
