"Having fun?" Miles asks.
"Not as much fun as you two," Drew says.
Meg blushes. Miles smirks.
"Thanks for inviting me." I shove my foot into my shoe. "But I should get home."
"I'll go with you," Meg says. "If you don't mind."
"Of course not," I say.
"You're supposed to stay the night." Miles slides his arm around her. "I'll drive you home in the morning."
"No," she says. "You'll distract me."
"I'm not staying if I have to hear that again," Drew says.
"I've been with you all week." Meg kisses Miles. "It's time to see my friend now."
"Stay," Miles says. "We'll watchStar Wars."
Drew objects. "Fuck no. I'm never watchingStar Warsagain." He turns to me. "They watched it a dozen times in four fucking weeks."
"We've tortured them enough," Meg says. "Kara and I are going home and no boys are allowed."
They kiss goodbye. It starts as a peck and slides into some serious necking.
Drew shoots me acan you believe thislook. I shrug. They're in love. It's sweet.
Meg pulls from the kiss with a heavy sigh. She's panting like she's about to take Miles upstairs for round two.
Sweet only goes so far.
"That's my cue." I find my keys in my purse and motioncome hereto Meg. "See you guys later."
"Yeah, later." Miles blows Meg a kiss.
She mimes catching it with a giggle.
Drew stares at me. There's something in his eyes, but I can't place it. I wave goodbye and lead Meg to the car.

Megand I spend the night at her place, eating cereal and watching movies instead of sleeping. She's bursting at the seams with stories about her time on tour. It's nice to see her so happy, even if I was stuck here, taking winter quarter classes, unable to join in the fun.
It's just after ten when I leave. It should give me a few hours in the common area before my roommate, Nadeen, wants the couch.
Only she's sitting on the couch with a concerned look on her face when I arrive at home.
"Listen, Kara." She folds her arms over her chest. "We have to talk."
