I didn’t stop at James’ open door, but I didn’t try to be particularly quiet, either. I fell onto my bed, kicked off my boots, and crawled under the covers. I shivered beneath them until I finally gave in to sleep and a nighttime of dark dreams.

Only two cars were parked in the school lot - the dean’s and one I didn’t recognize. I parked far from either of them, and shut the engine off.
