âSo youâre not gonna promise?â Flora said.
âSee? I told you she wouldnât,â Melissa said.
I made the promise to spite my younger self, and the two of them nodded quickly and sprinted away, as if this were just a small part of a much larger plan.
Theyâve been hanging out with Judy and Kate a lot lately. The five of us are having dinner tonight while Patton and some of the boys hang out on the beach. Guyâs night sort of thing.
Maybe Flora and Melissa have some idea to propose.
I wonder what theyâre serving for dinner.
I do know one thing, and itâs something you need to know. I owe everything to Judy. The Loyalty Drug was what saved us, and it was her invention. She bailed me out big time. Iâm the lucky benefactor of a deus ex machina. The only thing I ever accomplished was staying alive. I stayed alive long enough to be saved. I persevered. Everything I ever did, I did for my own survival.
I donât know what the girls are going to ask me tonight.
But I bet I say yes.
