“"You awake?" I roll over and look at him. "Yeah, how's Clare?" He sucks in a long breath. "She's iffy." "She can't kick the heroin? Or what? I don't understand what's going on." "It's not an easy habit to kick, Gidge. It's got something to do with brain chemistry, she thinks she's dying but it's the withdrawal symptoms. We're just trying to get her over the worst of it." He pulls me into his chest. "What'd you do while I was gone?" "Ran with Ford, slept, moped." I look up at him and smile. "Wai...ted for you to come back." "How is Ford?" "He's weird, Ronin. He's a weird guy." His whole body stiffens underneath me for a second, then relaxes. "What'd he say?" He sounds worried.
I sit up and look down at him. "He said I like being told what to do." This makes Ronin pull away. "What?" "Yeah, some crap about waiting for orders." "That guy is unbelievable." "Why?"
