kitchen less than thirty seconds after me.
    “Is she okay?” I asked him as I helped myself to a glass of milk.
    The kitchen was spotless, with every surface gleaming. Harper could be a bit of a neat freak when he wanted and had put himself in charge of all cleaning duties in the apartment when we first moved in together. I can’t tell you how happy that made me. I hated cleaning and tidying, but I also hated living in a mess. Sure, the place could have been called ‘minimalistic’ but that was because we both hated clutter and it gave him less to clean.
    “Yeah. She’s still fast asleep. I don’t think we’ll hear from her until tomorrow afternoon. I’ll take the sofa tonight.” Harper replied as he got himself a cup of coffee. The smell filled up the kitchen and I turned up my nose. I couldn’t stand the stuff. I hated the smell of it and couldn’t stomach the taste of it. Yuk.
    “I guess I should go and wake her up enough to get her undressed.” I put the empty glass in the sink and made to walk out of the kitchen.
    “No, just leave her. She’ll be fine.”
    “I can’t just leave her. Can you imagine how uncomfortable she’ll be? And now much all that leather is going to rub? Ouch!” I shuddered at the thought.
    “It might teach her to not get into that sort of state again.”
    I turned to look at him. It wasn’t like him to be so mean. “That’s a bit harsh. What’s up with you?”
    Harper slammed down his cup, spotting the clean counter with random drops of coffee. “I just hate it when she does that. What’s the point in it? What does she get out of it?”
    “You know what she’s like.”
    “I hate the effect that it ends up having on you and how much you worry about her. It’s not fair on you. She doesn’t give a damn about anyone else. As long as she has a good time, everyone else can go to hell for all she cares.”
    I’d never heard him speak like that about her before. Harper was the kind of guy that always looked on the bright side of any given situation, making the best of things and doing everything he could to make sure that everyone else is happy. It was just a damn shame that Destiny had done this tonight and brought his mood down so low. I hated to see him down. It just wasn’t the Harper that I knew and loved.
    “Harper…” I wasn’t sure what it was that I wanted to say to him. I wasn’t worried about me at all. I was worried about Dee. She had so much on her plate that when she had the chance to let go, she didn’t know when to stop.
    “No. Don’t even think about defending her.”
    “I wasn’t going to actually.” We both knew that was a lie. Harper raised his eyebrows at me and grinned. It was like he had suddenly flipped a switch and was back to being my Harper again.
    “Sure, whatever. We both know that you are dying to go in there and make her more comfortable.” He laughed. “Why don’t we chill out and watch a film before we go to bed?” he looked over at me and smiled winningly. “I’ll even crack out the popcorn.”
    I couldn’t resist when he looked at me like that. “I’ll go and get changed. You pick out a film.”
    I walked out and left Harper to bang about the kitchen. I knew that no matter how much he seemed to change his attitude, he wasn’t going to forgive Dee easily over this one. I knew that he hoped all the banging and crashing would disturb her sleep. But, I also knew that we wouldn’t hear from her at least until midday tomorrow. When she really went to town like she had tonight, she would be in a complete comatose state that even the uncomfortable chaffing of leather couldn’t disturb.
    I made my way down the short hall and into my own room. Harper’s door was opposite mine, the door was open a crack and showing the immaculately neat interior. The only thing that looked out of place was Dee sprawled ungainly in the centre of the bed.
    I kicked open the door to my room and walked in. To anyone else, especially Harper, it
