Chapter 8: Meet Mo

“What are you looking at?” Schuyler asks, pointing to my phone as we enter her bungalow.

“Promise you won’t get mad?” I prompt, hiding my screen from her view.

You’re creative––you should write fiction or something; you have a genuine talent.”

I shake my head. “It all sparked from when I referred to your bite as ‘Mo.’ After that, we fed off each other’s comments. It’s crazy, right?
