ARIANA~Two days later, Ivy's couch has become a habitat I have no intention of leaving.I'm sitting cross-legged beneath a blanket I've been wrapped in long enough to consider it part of my skin, staring blankly at the television.Some show is playing.I think.People are talking. Things are happening. I have no idea what is.Ivy is saying something too. I know she is because her mouth keeps moving every few seconds from where she's standing in the kitchen.The words don't make it all the way to me.My head throbs. My eyes still feel swollen from crying. My nose is blocked. My face must look like I've gone twelve rounds with a professional boxer and lost every one.This is the longest I've managed to go without crying since I walked out of the company building. It probably helps that Ivy stole my phone yesterday and turned it off.Nathan called seventy-three times before she did.Every time his name lit up my screen, it felt like somebody was reaching into my chest and squeezing.So

CALVIN~Ambrose hasn’t killed us yet, which feels increasingly impressive considering he’s currently treating Manhattan's traffic like a fun maze.I’m almost certain we’ve run two red lights in the last five minutes alone.

– ARIANA –~"WHAT?!"My best friends' voices penetrate loudly through the speaker of my phone. Katrina called a minute ago to ask how the party went, and Ivy joined seconds later, just in time to hear me admit I'd kissed Calvin Grey.The sound of a chair scraping breaks the quiet, followed by Kat asking someone to complete a report before the sound of heels starts clicking rapidly across marble. She's likely looking for somewhere private to lose her mind."Are you sure it's THE Calvin Grey or some random guy named Calvin Grey?" Ivy finally finds her voice, though amazement strings the words."Which other Calvin grey would have access to a Lockwood private event?" I groan, feeling a headache begin to bloom behind my temples. My eyes turn toward the window as the car slows down at a red light.She laughs. "Holy smokes, girl." "Run that back, Ana," A door slams. It seems Kat has finally found a place she can conveniently express her shock. "What happened exactly?"I sigh and tell them
