you go,” Profit says, his body coiled tight with tension.
    â€œHow could you do this to me?” I ask.
    His brows dip in confusion. “Do what?”
    â€œHow could you do it to us—after all we’ve been through? After all we meant to each other? How could you betray me like that?”
    Profit lowers his hands to stand upright.
    â€œI saw you,” I inform him. “You and Lucifer.”
    All expression falls from Profit’s face. “How long?” I ask. “How long? Hmm? How long have you two been sneaking behind my back? Are you and Mason sharing her now? Is that it? Is she pregnant with your baby—or his?” I ask, growing angrier from his silence. “Say something, dammit! I deserve that fucking much.”
    â€œIt’s . . . I’m sorry.”
    â€œYou’re sorry?” I ask, incredulous. “Is that it? That’s all you got to say? You’re sorry? Look what I gave up for you. Look what I lost! My life! My family!”
    â€œT, calm down.”
    â€œCalm down? Don’t fucking tell me to calm down!” I jump to my feet with the gun clutched in my hand.
    â€œAll right. All right. You’re right,” he says, contrite. “I owe you an explanation.”
    â€œYou’re damn right you do.” Hysteria borders my sanity.
    â€œT, it’s not what you think.”
    â€œI know what I saw,” I shout, waving the gun in his direction. “Do you think I’m stupid?”
    â€œWhat you saw,” he says, “was me making a stupid, stupid mistake. Fuck!” He runs his hands over his short-cropped hair. “I wasn’t even fucking thinking straight. There’s nothing going on between me and Lucifer.”
    â€œI saw you kissing her!”
    â€œYes! I kissed her—and it was the first and only time that it has ever happened. I swear. I don’t know what made me do it. But after she slapped the shit out of me I fucking woke up.”
    I stare him down, weighing whether I believe his bullshit.
    â€œT, I’m not in love with her. There’s nothing going on. I . . .”
    I wait, but he doesn’t seem to be able to complete his sentence.
    â€œI fucked up. I don’t know how else to explain it. A’ight? I fucked up—for a split second. It was just a kiss. It didn’t go any further than that. Can you forgive me?” He steps forward.
    I step back.
    â€œBaby. T, I promise you that it will never, ever happen again. Please. You have to believe me.”
    â€œI don’t have to do a damn thing,” I snap. “You’re a liar—and a cheat. I regret the day that I ever laid eyes on you. From the moment I met you, my life has turned into a living hell. And there’s nothing that I can do to change it back.”
    Profit keeps moving forward. “T, give me the gun. We’ll talk it out.”
    â€œWhy? Am I supposed to believe that you suddenly give a damn about us—that you give a damn about me?”
    â€œTa’Shara, baby. I swear nothing has changed about the way I feel for you.”
    â€œWhat are you talking about? Everything has changed. You can’t be that stupid not to realize that. Nothing is going to be the same again. That’s my fucking point!”
    â€œBaby, I’m sorry. Please. You have to forgive me. It was a momentary . . . I don’t know what it was.”
    I glare and shake my head. “So I’m supposed to believe that you were momentarily confused—that you forgot that you already had a girl riding and dying with you. Is that it? You’re a confused, forgetful muthafucka?”
    He huffs in exasperation.
    â€œAfter all that we—no. Scratch that. After all I’ve been through.”
    â€œC’mon, T. I get that you’re upset, but we’ve been in this together. I laid shot up in that hospital on prom night.”
    â€œBoo-fucking-hoo. In the grand scheme of things that shit is
