“Kimmie,” Dustin said, hoping that there was a heaven and his brother was up above watching his little brother’s own personal rom-com movie moment, When Kimmie Met Dustin. “Will you go to prom with me?”

“Fuck yeah I will,” she said and snuggled back into him, knitting her fingers into his and clasping them tight.

She left a short while later and they made plans to go see a movie the following day. She had refused to let him walk her outside, insisting that she was a different person than she’d been before. “I’m not saying I know who I am yet,” she told him. “But I’m trying to figure it out.” After he let her out and watched her through the window getting into a cab, Dustin leaned his head against the door and, looking up at the ceiling, he spoke out loud to his brother. “I owe you one, dude. Big time.”

It was the day before they were supposed to meet at the Greenwich airport to board Beatrice’s father’s recently purchased Gulfstream G500 for Coachella. The Spring Beak trip was meant as a mini reunion for the A-list dinner guests from Beatrice’s costume party. They were going to see LiviX2 perform, and they had artist VIP passes which meant they could be upfront at every performance and could travel on the secret paths in the backstage areas. Everyone was going except for Rooster, who was on a football recruiting trip.

Anna had already texted Beatrice her decision not to go; however, she didn’t put up much of a fight when her brother argued that a trip West was exactly what they needed.

“We need to make ourselves scarce,” Steven told his sister. “Who knows what shit’s going down with Mom and Dad this weekend?” After the long ice-out, Steven woke up for school to find his mother sitting on his bed. She told her son she had ended her affair with the Dude with the Dragon Tattoo and that she would confess her transgression to his father when he returned from Germany in two days. When Steven questioned why his mother would tell her husband about the affair if it was over, he was surprised to hear the reasoning behind her decision.
