Chapter 66

“I don’t know what to do,” Ethan said, burying his face in his hands.

Oh, my God, what did I do to deserve this?He was not going to sit here and comfort Ethan. He wasn’t. Even if he had liked Ethan, it was too weird for him. What was he supposed to say? I’m really sorry I’m in love with your girlfriend. She’s fun in bed, isn’t she?

“Ethan?”

He didn’t look up.

“Ethan, just sit right here, okay?” Jesse said, standing. “Don’t move.”

He shut himself in Gideon’s office and called Michelle. She picked up almost immediately.

“What’s up, Jesse?”

“Ethan is sitting in my office right now, pretty drunk and very depressed.”

“That’s interesting.”

“Come and pick him up.”

“He’s not my problem.”

“Goddammit, Michelle, he’s not my fucking problem either,” Jesse snapped. “You’re his friend. Probably his only friend in the city right now. I’m nothis friend, and I’m not going to get him through this. So get the fuck over here, okay?”
