I didn’t want to relax into that level of expectation, because I knew that would make the retreat back into obscurity that much more disappointing. Would I be content to simply run my fan forum from a place of anonymity after this? I wasn’t sure.
And if they knew who I really was, was there any way I’d be accepted into their inner sphere like this?

LMFAO Sid. I’m heading over. Doubt it will do much good, but I’ve been spoiling for a fight since I read the word “derivative.”

Chapter Ten
Wednesday morning, I got ready as quietly as possible, hoping to sneak out without disturbing Jo or Micah. I was starting to feel bad for taking advantage of their hospitality. If they fed me and sent me off to work in a glorified limo again, it would only compound the guilt. I could grab coffee and breakfast on the go.
I hadn’t realized how hard it would be to find a place to live. The sheer number of ads on craiglist overwhelmed me, and I didn’t know the neighborhoods or how to vet potential roommates. I planned to ask around at work and do some intense research. Later.
Once I was out on the street. I woke up my phone to locate a subway stop. The notification light blinked, and I groaned, wondering what Ash wanted so early, but the text was from Shane. With a goofy grin, I clicked through.
Good morning. This is Shane. I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed talking with you last night.
At the corner, I entered the coffee shop and got in line. While I waited, I texted back.
Hi!I tapped the phone, trying to think of something more interesting, but all I could come up with was:I had a nice time, too. Hope to see you again soon.
No response came while I moved up the line. I placed my order then pulled up my own website to see what nonsense had transpired during the night after those two trolls had stirred the pot. But all was quiet.
