Millie swiped more iodine onto a cut, and I screamed. “Oh, Dash, I’m so sorry,” she said. “Does it hurt?” “Yes, it hurts,” I said. “That’s why I’m screaming.”

Did you know that treadmills keep going forever? Like, the manufacturers don’t even build in a safety mechanism to disable them after you’ve run a mile.

Here’s an interesting tidbit about writers: we might be the most slovenly human beings in existence (think Pig-Pen with his cloud of flies, but we’re in our underwear, and we’re living off grilled cheese and ramen). BUT when it comes time to write, you’ll never find a group of people more determined to clean every bathroom, dust every baseboard, and wash every bowl, cup, and plate in the house.

“So, do you want me to pick the lock…” I let the suggestion hang in the air. “Can you pick the lock?” “Bobby! Can I? Can I?”

The paramedic was trying to pry Jonni’s hands off him, but he was having a surprisingly difficult time of it—especially for somebody who had such big biceps. He must have a killer arm workout. I should ask him what he did. Did guys do that? Was that a straight guy thing? You see some guy with massive—let’s say massive quads. And you walk up and say, what? Bro, how’d you get that tight patoot? That seemed more like an invitation to a broken nose. But if I said, Hi, sorry, I know this is weird, but I couldn’t help noticing your arms— Uh, maybe not.

Bobby was on the bed in his grungy white straight-boy socks, striped boxers that had two holes in them, and a Volcom T-shirt that had been bleached by sun and salt until it was practically see-through. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m not made of stone.

“Oh no. I’m not having this conversation with those—” I pitched my voice to carry. “—those meddlers eavesdropping.” Fox booed. Then they hissed. Millie said, “WE’RE NOT LISTENING!”

“You’re all accomplices at this point,” I said. “Keme, Millie, do you want to have a prison wedding? Fox can brew you some toilet wine.” “OH MY GOD! A PRISON WEDDING!” (That wasn’t the response I’d been expecting.)

“I need to chat with Larry now, so why don’t you guys go, um, play?” Keme cracked his neck. (It’s surprisingly terrifying if you’ve never heard an adolescent mini-Hulk do it.) Then he said, “Go play?”

Get him sounded like Millie-speak for something felonious—kidnapping, for starters. “Uh, no, absolutely do not—” “Because we can totally do it. I have these hair scrunchies that are SUPER strong, and Keme has his—”

Instead of the white shirt and slacks I’d seen him in the other night, he was wearing a striped pullover and jeans—it was actually pretty cute, and it made him look less like Dracula’s special little guy and more like, well, a normal twentysomething who still needed to find the right skincare product.

“You can’t ground me!” “You’d better believe I can,” I said. “I’m your—whatever I am. Brother-dad, I guess? And kind of a foster parent. Wait, is den mother still a thing?”

“How did you know that wasn’t a real gun, and he wouldn’t kill me?” To judge by the expression on Keme’s face, that question hadn’t occurred to him.

Fox had once told me that I had been, quote, born blessedly free of the curse of common sense, and that comment came back to me as I crept toward the sound of voices.

Sometimes, Bobby didn’t understand that nesting was an integral part of the writing process. Nesting was as important as brainstorming or outlining or—yes, even drafting.

I don’t know if you’ve ever experienced the sudden knowledge that you’re capable of murder—if you’ve raised a teenager, or worked with teenagers, or know a teenager, the odds are high that you have. I was currently exploring that flash of self-awareness.
