Chapter 29 Cheap

• "Isn't it not so hard now?" I try to hide and get away from him because he makes fun of me. He has him bent over at the waist and is still tickling him nonstop, so I wait for the right moment to nudge his leg with my foot, which throws him off balance. It wasn't a very big bathroom. It only had a toilet, a small sink, a washer and dryer, and nothing else. Kent was taller than six feet, and his wet clothes were still in this room in a basket.
• He lands hard next to me, and the two of us take up the rest of the floor space. As I try to catch my breath, my chest is heaving, and he laughs in a short, wheezing way.
• "Julia, that was a cheap shot." When he tells me, I laugh.
