Ridiculous.

We kissed.

Really kissed.

My tongue was in his mouth.

His hand was in my hair.

I can manage fingers.

At the next light, I place my hand beside his.

Kane glances down.

Says nothing.

His pinkie touches mine.

Then hooks around it.

That’s all.

One finger.

My stomach turns over like he pulled me into his lap.

I look out the window before he sees my face.

Campus appears ahead.

My phone vibrates.

Then again.

Then four times in rapid succession.

I pull it from my coat.

BRIAR GIRLS

Lila: MOVIE MARATHON HAS COMMENCED.

Maeve: WE STOLE THE THIRD FLOOR LOUNGE TV.

Noor: Lila also invited people into our room.

Lila: “People” sounds hostile.

Noor: There are fourteen people in here.

A picture loads.

My bed is covered in bodies.

Not literally bodies.

Women.
