Chapter 48

While Lex could only recall snatches of the evening, the one thing he remembered with extreme clarity was how Trent had reacted when Lex had misread Trent&rsquo;s words and actions and tried to kiss him. Lex&rsquo;s only hope was that Trent&rsquo;s drunken state had erased that moment from his memory and the two could go back to the time before Lex&rsquo;s colossal blunder and be the friends they were.

Stopping at the food booth to order coffee, Lex&rsquo;s stomach lurched at the smell of the sausages and eggs cooking on the greasy grill. He quickly got his coffee and turned to leave.

&ldquo;God, you look like shit!&rdquo; Sonny Hammill, a fellow competitor said, laughing as he walked past Lex on his way to the order window.

&ldquo;Feel like it, too,&rdquo; Lex responded, sipping his coffee.

&ldquo;If it&rsquo;s any consolation, Trent looks worse.&rdquo;

&ldquo;He does?&rdquo; Lex asked, suddenly more alert.

&ldquo;You two musta had some sorta wild night.&rdquo;
