Chapter 20

I awoke drenched in sweat, jolting Ash from his pillow. It felt as if Drex's hands had been all over my body, tugging me back to him. I grabbed my phone and saw it was 8:30 am. A reasonable hour. I gathered my things and Ash, then hopped into my car. Setting the GPS to the address Helana had given me the night before, I started off in that direction.

When I arrived, an older man greeted me with a stern look. "This is private parking, hun. You're gonna need to park down the way if you're going to that party." His thick accent made me smile, reminding me of my grandmother. Down the street, I noticed a bounce house and balloons.

"Actually, I'm here to see Aydin Johnson?" I said, feeling a bit shy.

"Oh, gosh! I'm so sorry, hun. Those people sure know how to throw a party, but it never ends. I don't mind being the bad guy of the neighborhood and telling them to piss off," he said, waving me closer with a hand that looked like it had seen many years of hard work.
