Chapter 3

Like now.No hair to comb, nothing he wants to shave, nothing really to do to get ready, and it still takes him until 7:20 to get dressed because he can’t find the shirt Blake ironed for him the night before. It isn’t in the closet, it’s on the back of the door, and of course that’s the last place Jeremy looks. Then he can’t find a tie ready to wear—Blake ties them for him because he can never get the knot just right, but there aren’t any done so he’ll just forget about wearing one today. He doesn’t really need it anyway. The only clean undershirt he can find has a dragon emblazoned in black across the chest, but when he squints at his reflection in the mirror, he really can’t see it through his shirt, so it’ll have to do. He doesn’t even realize he’s wearing one of Blake’s blazers until he’s in the car and notices the cuffs are an inch too short.

And I forgot to call Jane. Damn.
