Evasive Action

“Maybe he’s with Jimmy and doesn’t want to answer any calls, which would be the smart move.” Clay lifted an eyebrow. “Is Adam still using?”

“Says he’s not.” She hunched her shoulders.

“He’s your brother. I understand.” Clay grabbed his water glass and set it in the sink. “You can stay here if you want to watch TV. The spare room doesn’t have one. I’m going to hit the sack. Unlike Adam, it’s not too early for me, especially after the day I had.”

“You must be exhausted.” She pointed the remote at the TV screen where she’d paused her movie. “I guess I’ll stay here and try to unwind a little.”

“I’ll toss one of my pillows onto your bed.” He lifted his hand and disappeared into the hallway.
