Story: Little Nightmare
A horn honked behind us, killing our moment, but we had it, a moment of solidarity, determination, a moment of shared love.
Me and Ace, in that hospital parking lot, for the second time since agreeing to all of this, had another moment.
And just like that another crack in my heart knit back together, not on its own, not through my own strength, but through Ace’s.

ACE
The one with the Stalker.
Isnapped out of it enough to get us on the road and driving toward campus. We ere a few miles out when my phone went off. I immediately tensed when I saw Ivan’s name on the screen. I tapped it. “Yeah, what’s up?”
“More intel, looks like you’re headed close to campus, so stop off at Dante’s on the way. Bella wants to see Raven anyway and said if you don’t have ultrasound pictures she’s going to kill you because we need Raven for the baby but your dispensable.”
I rolled my eyes. “Tell her I love her too.”
“See you soon.”
Raven grinned over at me. “You’re not dispensable. What would I do without your hands?”
I swallowed and looked out the windshield. “I’m surprised they let us book another appointment.”
She let out a snort. “I’m not, it’s like free entertainment watching you walk in there I’m sure everyone wanted to bone you, not just me.” She followed the statement with a sharp gasp.
I slowly tilted my head in her direction. “Did you just say bone?”
“Nope.”
“Yeah, you did.”
“I would never.”
“You wanted to bone me?”
“Ummmm, guys.” Ivan’s voice cracked over the Bluetooth in the SUV. “You never hung up. But good luck with the boning, I’ll be rooting for you. Shit, pregnant women are horny—Bella, babe, hear me out—” The phone went dead right along with my soul.
Raven whistled. “He’s not going to let us live down the boning conversation.”
“Nope.”
“Sorry.”
“Feel what you have to feel, Raven.” I smirked. “Bone, I can’t believe such an uncouth word would fall from those lips.”
“Did you just say uncouth?
“I said what I said. I do have a degree you know.”
“Please, I thought the degree was in sex until I found out you were a eunuch.”
I gripped the steering wheel and pulled a hard right down Dante’s street. “For the last time, I’m not a Eunuch!”
“Okay.”
“Don’t taunt me.”
“Then don’t lie.”
Me and Ace, in that hospital parking lot, for the second time since agreeing to all of this, had another moment.
