Page 234 of Call the Shots
I stared at it. Whatever was in that folder clearly scared June. What did that have to do with me? I didn’t know. All I knew was my girlfriend didn’t like it and that was enough for me.
Xavier nudged it closer, but I shook my head. “I’m not touching that.”
He opened it for me.
I gazed at June but she didn’t move.Oh, fuck.Reluctantly, my eyes fell to the folder. They were printed screenshots with the name ‘cupcake’ at the top.

Cupcake

It took a few seconds for me to connect what the messages meant and the pages that Xavier fanned out underneath. June…knew about the nudes. Like, since the moment we lived together. Even before that. The more pages I read through, the more I realized it’d been a running joke between them for months.
They’d been laughing at me for months.
June was silent, this heartbreaking look in her eyes. The same look I’d seen on her face when I told her about the Kérouacs, when I was piss-drunk after Montoya’s birthday party.
