The Man Who Crossed Worlds (A Miles Franco Urban Fantasy)
Page 28
“Easy, kid,” I said through gritted teeth. “I’m fragile.”
She pulled herself off me and grinned sheepishly. “I don’t have to be respectful or anything now that you’re my teacher, do I?”
“Just don’t start calling me Mr. Franco.” I rearranged my tubes and lay back down. “All right, get lost before your mom realizes where you’ve got to. Remember, kid, cover to cover.”
She nodded once more, beaming, and practically skipped away. I watched her go, the smile still on my face. She’d be all right now.
I closed my eyes. When I got better, I had a lot of amends to make, a lot of pieces of a broken life to put back together. But that could wait. Even assholes needed sleep.
My dreams were thick with fire and guilt, but that was all right. I couldn’t remember them when I woke.
