Summary
"I didn’t know what bothered me more: that Hendricks showed up late, that Hendricks showed up drunk, or that Hendricks showed up with Liam.
I felt like a petulant kid grousing at the unfairness. I made it to Prim Hall fifteen minutes earlier than Amari had told me to arrive. I wore a new suit and a bow tie. I was sharing Amari with Governor Lark, who had more breath for complaints than there was air in the room. I was surrounded by politicians and aristocrats and all manner of Sunder elite. And Liam got to stumble in moments before the concert began, drunk, flushed, clinging with those spindly fingers to Hendricks—Hendricks, who was all of those things and more. Hendricks, whose clothes were rumpled and whose hair was wild. Hendricks, whose brow gleamed with sweat.
Hendricks, who smelled like sex when he leaned into me and told me, Don't be jealous, boy."
