The room fell silent.
Everyone watching.
Waiting.
The headache pounded.
The exhaustion I'd been ignoring caught up all at once.

Ever.

"Done."
"Trigger gets second."
"Done."
"Saint gets third."
"Done."
I looked at all three of them.
"If anything happens?—"
Wolf rolled his eyes.
"We know."
"I mean anything."
"We know."
"I'll kill all of you."
Trigger laughed.
"Go to bed, Beast."
The room erupted into smiles.
Even Hank.
Even Sadie.
Especially the Magnolia Ladies.
