When I was younger it was where I used to hide my candy bars so my dad wouldn’t find them and now I was hiding an even bigger secret from Valerie. Part of me wanted to go to Max’s office and drop it on his desk and give him the finger. The other part of me thought maybe I should listen and take the money. Maybe I could make it out to California and maybe Valerie would actually be better off without me. That didn’t make the whole situation feel any cleaner. I could barely look at Valerie. I felt like I was betraying her. Maybe it would be better just to leave her. I got out of the bathroom after brushing my teeth, ready to go to bed for the night, but when I opened the door Valerie wasn’t propped up in bed on her laptop like she usually was. This time she was lying in bed wearing nothing but a dimpled smile and her silk bed sheets. I wasn’t wearing anything but my boxers and instantly I hardened at the sight of her.
