tell she was grinding her teeth. Something’s wrong. “Hey, what happened? What did Jason want?”
    “Never mind Jason. What in the hell does this text from Logan mean? It came through while I was on your phone.”
    My heart thudded to a stop. “What?”
    “Here, I’ll read it to you. Roam, thank you for agreeing to come to dinner. Please remember that my parents think you’re carrying their grandchild, so this means a lot to them... and to me. ”
    Think. Fast. “What?” I repeated.
    “What does he mean; his parents think you’re carrying their grandchild?”
    “You know, they care about me because… because it’s their son’s baby… and…,”
    “Don’t you lie to me, Roam Eva Camden.”
    “Mind your own business, Morgan! I’m not a child anymore. I appreciate your love and concern, but I am more than able to take care of myself.”
    “I deserve the goddamn truth.”
    Hearing her curse made me cringe. She’s so mad. “You know the truth.”
    “I am familiar with the giant, smelly pile of bullshit you and Logan are running around here, but I want to know the truth .”
    I finished walking down the stairs and brushed past her, plucking my phone from her outstretched hand. “You’re being crazy.”
    “ Am I?”
    “Eat peanut butter and jelly. I’m leaving.”
    “Where do you think you’re going?”
    “I’m going to Logan’s house.” I slipped into a pair of tan, faux-suede boots. “It’s not snowing. I can walk.” With my coat zipped and a hood over my wet hair, I reached for the front door.
    “Roam…,”
    “I’ll be home by nine.”
    Slamming the door behind me was juvenile, but empowering. I had no idea if Logan was even home. I could see through the bare trees that lights were on in the Rush’s upstairs windows, but I couldn’t tell if Logan’s car was parked in the driveway.
    The five minute walk was colder with each step as the sun went down. I could see my breath at first, but by the time I got to Logan’s house, the sky was too dark to see much of anything. As I reached the end of his driveway, I stopped just behind his Camry. What in the world am I doing? Logan and I aren’t close anymore, nor are we even friends. Not only did I betray him with another man, I’m pregnant.
    I started to turn back to my house, but the familiar sound of their front door opening drew my attention. Just barely six o’clock, the street was dark except for the lamplight near their sidewalk. “Cam, is that you?”
    “I- yeah. Just wanted to take a walk.”
    I watched him reach for his jacket. He closed the door softly behind him, walking out to the end of the driveway to meet me. With every step he took, I grew more apprehensive. He just told you his dreams of killing you are getting intense. So you walk right to him ?
    “Hey.”
    “Hey, Rush.”
    “Can I walk with you?”
    “Sure.”
    We turned back toward the road. “Did you eat dinner?”
    “No… I’ll grab something when I go home.”
    “Why don’t you come in and eat something with me? My parents are still in Pennsylvania visiting Gram,” he added.
    I considered his invitation. “ Want to just get some take-out? I haven’t had Chinese in forever.”
    “I’m not feeding my child Chinese take-out.”
    It took a few seconds to comprehend his words. As I did, I held back a surge of hormone-induced tears. Looking down, I blinked rapidly, fighting the burning moisture in my eyes. He reached for me, tentatively at first, but when met with no resistance he folded me into his arms.
    “What if he escaped,” my wavering voice was muffled by his shoulder. “What if West is trapped, but Troy escaped… and he’s just waiting for the right time to kill me…,”
    “When? A time when you’re completely unguarded, vulnerable, and your asshole ex-boyfriend has left you to fend for yourself- all alone? Well, then, he’s had plenty of opportunity. But he hasn’t attacked.” He smoothed his hand over my back, his touch comforting
