I’m safe. For now. But if he finds out…
I will never, ever come to his house for dinner.

Before I can even get out my sentence, Travis’s eyes roll up in his head. And then he slides out of his seat and collapses to the floor, his head hitting the tiles with a loud clunk.
“Sorry, I…I’m just not a fan of blood, you know?”
“Listen, Sydney…” Travis clears his throat. “You look like you need some time to recover from…all this. So why don’t we do dinner some other time?”
“Sure,” I say. “How about on Friday?”
“Uh, maybe.” Travis yanks his jacket off the back of his chair, his hands shaking slightly. “I’ll text you through the app. Or something.” He stuffs his arms into the sleeves of his jacket. “Anyway, bye.”
JERK ugh
“Believe it or not, until my nose started gushing blood, that was the first good date I’d been on in a long time.”
“I find that hard to believe. You’re much better off without him. I mean, what grown man faints at the sight of a bloody nose? Sort of pathetic, don’t you think?”
“Well…”
“Really,” he says, “you don’t want to have kids with a guy like that. What’s he going to do when your kid gets bopped in the nose wit...

“There’s a souvenir shop next door,” Mystery Man tells me. “Let me get you a new shirt so you don’t have to walk home with blood all over you.”
“Seriously? Those places are a rip off—you’re going to pay a fortune.”
“Better than being covered in blood, right?” When he sees the hesitation on my fa...

“And then,” he says, “if you’re feeling up to it, I’d love to take you to dinner.”
“I’m Sydney,”
“Nice to meet you, Sydney,” he says. “I’m Tom. Tom Brown.”
Saw that coming
“Tom,” she says, “we need to talk. Now.”
“We need to talk. Now.”
“I can’t talk,” I mumble. “I’ve got to meet Daisy.”
“It’s important.”
“It won’t take long.”
“Fine.”
“What is it?” My voice is filled with irritation to cover up my anxiety. “What is so important?”
“I want you to stay away from Daisy.”
“What?”
“You hear...

“I can’t stay away from her.”
“Right,” she says, “so you need to break up with her.”

“I saw you kissing Brandi Healey.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Don’t lie about it, Tom.” Her voice is seething with hatred—she despises me. “I saw you. Outside the back of the school, just a few days before she disappeared. And it wasn’t just a peck on the cheek. You were making out with her.”
“You’re the boyfriend,” she continues. “The mysterious boyfriend who was meeting up with Brandi the night she was killed.”
“You’re the one the police are trying to find,” she says, “except Brandi didn’t tell anyone it was you. But I saw you.”
“I wasn’t her boyfriend. It was just that one kiss. It didn’t mean anything.”
“So why were you meeting with her secretly late at night?”
“Did you tell anyone?”
“No,” she says, “and I’m not going to, as long as you leave Daisy alone from now on.”
“She’s not going to be happy ...
