at Kent. "Don't tell a bunch of people, okay? I'm just kind of freaked out about being the one to find it and I don't want too many people to find out about it."
    Kent lifted his phone sarcastically. "Sooo, you don't want me to post it on Facebook?" he asked. He was obviously joking and Taylor could tell by the sweet smile that edged his lips that he got her point. "I'll be out here if you girls need me," he said.
    They went to their separate rooms. Taylor and Gina shared the hall bathroom. Kent got the master suite and attached private bath because he was the only guy. He also paid fifty dollars a month extra—something neither of the girls wanted to do just to avoid sharing a bathroom. Taylor was the first to shower. She grabbed pajamas the instant she went into her room, and went to the shared bathroom for a hot shower.
    She couldn't wait to wash everything off—the smell of puke, the smell of the hospital, the memory of the girl—everything. Taylor took a long shower, washing every inch of her body with soap and hot water.
    Utterly exhausted, she fell asleep with no trouble at all.

    The next day was weird.
    Taylor slept until almost noon, which meant she got a shit-ton of sleep. Oddly enough, she felt like she could go right back to sleep that afternoon. In spite of all the sleep she got the night before, she took a long nap.
    It was 4PM when Hannah came by. She and Taylor were scheduled to work the same 7-3 shift at the coffee shop, and when Taylor called in sick and then didn't pick up her phone the three times Hannah tried to get in touch, she started to worry.
    Taylor woke up a few minutes before Hannah knocked on the door. "I was just about to text you," Taylor said, opening the door. Hannah looked passed her suspiciously. Kent and Gina were both gone, and Taylor was sitting in a dark house. She was in her underwear and a nightshirt and looked like she'd gone to bed with wet hair.
    "What's up? You sick?" Her eyes immediately went to Taylor's arm. "What happened? Is that why didn't you come to work?"
    Hannah stepped past her without being invited in and preceded to start opening the windows. Taylor cringed a little at how brightly the afternoon sun shone through.
    "You need some fresh air in here."
    "I didn't go to work because I found a dead girl in a storage shed at Pat's."
    Hannah looked back at Taylor with an expression that said she wasn't sure why Taylor would say something like that. Hannah knew she must be joking, but couldn't understand why she thought that was funny.
    "I'm not kidding. There was a dead body in a shed when I worked a gig at Pat's yesterday. It was fresh enough not to stink. I found it and then I freaked out and tripped over my own feet. That's how I broke my arm."
    Hannah turned to stare at Taylor, who was sitting on the couch staring blankly at the coffee table in front of her. She lifted her arm slightly to indicate the broken arm.
    "I think Jason mentioned something about that. It was on the news, but I had no idea you had anything to do with it."
    "That gig we had yesterday was out at Pat's. I went into the shed to look for something and saw her there. I'm a little hazy on everything that's happened since then," she said, still starring straight ahead.
    "I think Jay said her boyfriend turned himself in," Hannah said. "I would have paid more attention if I'd have known you had anything to do with it. I try not to listen to him when he talks about the news."
    "Believe me, I do the same thing," Taylor said. "So depressing. I really wish I could undo everything I saw."
    Hannah sat next to her friend on the couch. Taylor took comfort in the smell of coffee that clung to her after a long shift. Hannah reached out and put an arm around Taylor's shoulders. Not knowing what else to say, she said, "I can't believe it, Tay." She paused. "I'm really sorry that happened. What'd you do when you saw it?"
    Taylor laughed without humor. "I sat there and stared at it like an idiot," she said,
