I’ve never been anywhere like this. The place is totally packed, and the gathered crowd is energetic and loud – near riotous, really. They stand and shout as each of the fighters throws and lands a punch. The people next to me keep pushing me closer to Beau. He doesn’t seem to mind. He just grins at
I climb the water tower as fast as I physically can with Beau on my heels. I climb for longer than I would have thought. This water tower is actually very tall. By the time we reach the top, I feel a little dizzy. I cling to the bars for a moment, almost afraid to look out. But I wasn’t lying to B

Just like that, all thoughts fly out of my head. I’m entirely frozen, unable to move. “Gods, you are the worst when you are like this,” Beau says lightly. “Are you her keeper, Archer? Last time I checked, you stopped fucking her weeks ago.” “That’s not an invitation for you to start,” Archer say
I set Mia on the floor of my bedroom on her playmate. She has toys scattered around. She immediately grabs a plastic rattle and starts chomping on the end of it. After making sure she’s settled, I start doing some stretches. I’m running on empty tonight, after having been up all night with Beau. I
