Chapter 8

Mom and Dad were both home today, and no matter how besotted Ethan was, there was no way he could keep Vanessa at our house overnight.

But given Dad’s temper, there was no way he was letting Ethan set one foot out the door either.

And a woman like Vanessa? She couldn’t go a single day without a man. There was no way she was going to sit at home alone through a long, empty night without finding some neon-lit corner in which to entertain herself.

In the afternoon I called home. Sure enough, everything was going exactly as I’d predicted.

Ethan was pinned down at home by Dad. Vanessa had left on her own.

Chloe and I exchanged one look.

“Tonight, we move.”
