I have no dignity left.

My options were simple:
become homeless… or spend six hours sweating inside a five-thousand-dollar Easter Bunny costume at a gala full of people who wouldn’t notice me either way.

I chose the floppy ears.

It should’ve been easy. Smile. Wave. Hand out overpriced chocolate. Don’t pass out from heatstroke.

Instead, I caught the wrong attention.

Now I’m in the back of a speeding SUV with three men who look like they solve problems permanently—and they’re convinced I’m one of them.

I’m not.

I don’t know what they think I have.
I don’t know why they won’t let me go.

All I know is—

Roman doesn’t believe a word I say.
Calder is watching for the moment I slip.
And Nico… Nico looks like he’s enjoying this far too much.

I just wanted to make rent.

Now I’m trapped in a nightmare I don’t understand…
and the only thing more dangerous than what they think I’m hiding—

is the fact that I might not survive long enough to prove them wrong.
