Chapter 17

Sasha

I instantly smelled a strong odour of weed coming from the kitchen and living room. Dexter was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed. I spotted a joint on the table with a half-empty bottle of whisky. I guessed he must have drunk quite a bit already.

I shouldn't really have cared about him and his well-being. As he'd pointed out several times, it was just sex between us, but after this morning I couldn't stay away. I was concerned that he was mixing too many unregulated medications just for the sake of it, causing more damage than good to himself.

"Hi," I said softly.

"What are you doing here, Sasha?" he asked. I was expecting him to be his usual self, acting superior like this morning, but his question was quiet and guarded.
