Chapter 120

“Hey, you have chemo tomorrow, Zarabug,” Mayhem says, glancing at the time. “We should let you two have your evening back, let you get some rest for the treatment.” 

“I’ll call you tomorrow morning before you leave for the hospital,” Jade says as we all walk over to the elevator. “And I’ll come over after you get back, if you feel up to it.” 

“Thanks, Jade.” I press the button for the elevator to come up. “I’ll let you know.” 

She hugs me, then smiles at Locke. “Don’t let her spend all night worrying.” 

“I’ll do my best,” he says. 

Mayhem claps Locke on the shoulder. “She’s your problem again, man.” 

“I don’t remember agreeing to that.” Locke runs an affectionate hand through my hair. “But I’m pretty happy to be stuck with her, to be honest.”
