She frowns. “I guess his name is Jason; he’s the guy who was making out with that brunette all night when we were in the picnic area. He approached me, said a creepy-flirty thing or two – which I thought was weird because I knew he has a girlfriend, considering his tongue was down her throat half that evening – before leaning in and whispering he knew what I was up to.”


(Was editing/revising X-Mas slasher and decided to add a detail to a bit of dialogue -- the thing about the tongue -- which I feel makes it pop, even though the reference might be slightly redundant considering I'd already noted the making out (albeit I guess this adds an additional emphasis))

Yesterday I thought that if I could just get through the night it would be some kind of milestone and then everything would be easier. But everything's worse, and my hang-over does its part too, transforming my sludge-grey anxiety into something acidic and physical.

Crushed when he died, she’d honored his memory by having a purple heart tattooed on the left side of her chest with his initials. Two hearts together, his over hers, was like carrying his spirit with her, always.

I frown, biting my lip. Well, that’s another weird coincidence. If this is right, Glass only started sleepwalking after having me as a patient. Not that it means anything, of course – just another coincidence. Seem to be a lot of coincidences lately. Must be a real coincidental time of year.
