Chapter 27
PAIGE—THE NEXT DAY
Max
Me
Okay.
Max
No arguments? Are you sick?
Me
Fuck off.
Max
Oh, there’s the caustic comeback that makes me hard
Me
Go away, I’m busy.
Max
See you later.
Me
Can’t wait.
What the hell did I tell him that for?
Can’t wait?
Oh… maybe it’s because I can’t.
This isn’t just terrible, this is a disaster.
If I go to hell, I’m taking him with me.
Two Days Later
Max
Hotel Zaptos, 2 p.m. today. I’m in court this morning, so I won’t be able to come earlier.
Me
Okay. I’m taking the afternoon off.
Max
How long do we have?
Me
Until 7 p.m. And I went on the pill. I’m clean if you are.
Max
You went on the pill?
Me
Yes. Don’t read too much into it, I have heavy periods.
That’s a lie. One of the many I’ve been telling recently.
Max
That will be a first for me.
Me
Me too. I can’t see you for the next few days, so make it memorable.
Max
Brace yourself, Bunny.
