Knowing what to do with Matthew. Knowing what to do with these dreamkillers. What do you want him to be like?” She wanted him to tell her how to stay alive. She wanted him to tell her how to save Jordan for good, so that she no longer had to rely on Hennessy, who was always and ever unreliable. She wanted Jordan to have the life she deserved. “Sexy as hell,” Hennessy said.
