Chapter 46

• POSEY better be careful, or she’s going to find herself with a new best friend, whether she wants one or not. She played it cool, never hinting at anything I told her in my room. She also managed to wrap things up within an hour and got everybody out of the condo. Dean looked disappointed, but that’s no big surprise. I’m not sure what he thought was going to happen. I like him, he’s nice, but I’ve never given him any idea that I see him that way. Have I?
• Besides, Zoe’s obviously got a huge crush on him. I like her, I want to be friends with her, and it would make me a bitch if I went after him.
• Right. Whatever you need to tell yourself. I’m not loving the voice in my head right now, but it won’t shut up. I go through the motions of putting everything away, saving what’s left of some pretty expensive cheese. I’m sure anybody raised the way I’m living now would laugh at me for doing it, but certain things I don’t think I’ll ever be able to let go of. I don’t want to waste anything, even if I know I could easily buy more tomorrow.
