“Hey, Cassie. Cass.” Logan waves his hand in front of my face. I blink and look up at him. He grins. “Okay,” he laughs, “thought I lost you there for a sec. You had this weird, blank expression on your face.”

Yeah, I was thinking about my ex-boyfriend.

The guilt settles in my stomach and makes me feel sick. “I’m fine,” I lie. “I just...zoned out for a sec.”

“Pia!” Liesel exclaims in surprise when she opens the door. “What are you—”

“Pia?” her older sister, Kendra, asks as she enters the entrance hall of their apartment. Her strawberry blonde hair is up in a messy bun, and there are dark circles under her blue-green eyes. She bites on her lower lip. “Oh, no. I didn’t mean to… Oh, God, this is my fault…”
 
“No, Kendra,” I say, “you saved me. So thank you.”

“You look like you’re going to vomit,” Logan comments as he sends a text to his parents.

I frown and swallow the bile rising in my throat. “I feel like I am.” I sniff the air again and nearly gag. My eyes water. “Is it just me or does it smell in here?” My face begins to sweat, and I wipe the perspiration off my nose.
