Excerpt

“Damn,” Octavia said. “You look about as happy as a stripper on a dead night. My friend’s a stripper. Don’t know why, but she loves that damn job. Hey, you okay?” She scooted closer to where he stood and yanked one of her headphones out. His head hung and he stared at the ground. “Dude, you strung out on somethin’?”

He sighed. “This shit usually happens to heroin addicts,” he said.

One of her eyebrows shot up. “So you are strung out. I’ve never met a bona fide junkie.” She plucked the other headphone out of her ear.

He shook his head. “I can see why people get addicted, though.” He pushed off the glass and paced, his hands shoved into his pockets.
