CHAPTER EXCERPT:
“You’re reading too much into what I’m saying, Cronus.” Dirk doesn’t look up from his soon-to-be radio. “I said Meenah was cool, which she is. Anyway, you should be more worried about whether you like her or not than what I think.”
Cronus hesitates for just a moment too long before replying. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, boss.” Dirk looks up, pointedly raising an eyebrow over his shades. Cronus avoids the flare in the dark lenses, looking up at the ceiling instead. James Dean’s smoldering eyes looks back down on him. It strikes Cronus as an odd place to hang a poster. “She’s a babe, and you can’t deny we make one hell of a couple.”
“Depends on how you define hell. And couple.”
