Chapter 43
LINDY
I flew home on the first flight I could get out of Las Vegas that was headed toward Hunter Valley. I didn’t care that it flew through Salt Lake or Denver or even Seattle. I just wanted away from Dex. Away from how I felt.
Because Dex had made me feel. Way too much.
I couldn’t go back to the house. I had no idea if Theo was staying there still or the squirrel. But it would be the first place Dex would look for me.
I didn’t want to see him.
I couldn’t.
I couldn’t stay at Dex’s rental, obviously. I also didn’t want to stay at Mav’s place with Bridget because the sight of the two of them together was nauseating, and heartbreaking. Dex would go there, too. So I went to the one person who had no choice but to hide me.
Mallory.
She owed me for years of shit she put me through growing up. She couldn’t say no. And if she did, I wasn’t above blackmail. I knew she stole her parents’ car and lost her virginity in the back seat to a kid named Zak who now played jazz flute in LA. I knew lots of things.
