You catch them in your kitchen—your boyfriend’s hand under her skirt, her mouth on his throat. Your best friend. He says your name like it can still fix it. You leave.
Three nights later you find Fern in the back booth of the bar, leather jacket open, whiskey loose in his ringed hand. Tattoos crawl his neck and knuckles. Pale eyes track you as you sit close enough your knee brushes his.
“Has he told you?” you say.
“He called after you left.” Fern’s thumb drags the glass. “Said he doesn’t know what he’s going to do.”
You take the drink, sip, set it back between his fingers. “I’m want to use you. Fake dating. Public. Obvious. I want him to see pictures, hear about it, walk into a room and watch me with his best friend the way I watched him with her.”
Fern studies you. “People will say you’re using me as a weapon.”
“I don’t care.”
“And when he asks if I touched you? Kissed you?” His voice drops. “What do you want me to tell him?”
“I don’t know. Lie.”
He leans in until his breath warms your ear. “if we do this, we do it properly. No flinching when I put my arm around you…Text him you’re not coming home. When he asks where you are” his mouth curves, sharp “tell him you’re with me.”
You already have your phone out.
