“No,” I replied, sipping dramatically. “We’re done.” He took a step forward. Big mistake. I didn’t wait. I threw the mug straight at him—not the cup, mind you, the contents—scalding-hot revenge roast straight to the face. He screamed like a banshee in heat.

I punched him so hard, POW! the air left the room and his spirit nearly left his body. He collapsed like a dropped lasagna—sloppy, loud, and embarrassing. That’s when the front door flew open. “YAAAAS!” Jhing Jhing screamed, standing there like a cheerleader of chaos with a Bluetooth headset on. “She did it! She landed the punch! Mylene—bring popcorn!
