Aro
Hawken Trent. Polite. Sweet. Such a decent young man. And a virgin, from what I've heard. Hawk never has sex with girls. Probably because Jesus told him not to. And now he's playing the hero, defending another girl from me. He calls me a bully. Insane. Reckless. A criminal. Let him call me whatever he wants, I've heard worse. Hawk might try to get between me and my money, but he's never had to fight over food. A rich, preppy schoolboy doesn't have the guts for that.
Hawken
I surprised her. You should have seen her face. My clean record, my dear, doesn't mean my hands are clean. I just know how to avoid getting caught. But this time, it looks like I've gone too far. We're caught red-handed. It's pitch black. The police are arriving. We have no choice. We run down High Street to Quinn's Bakery, where I escort Aro to a speakeasy whose existence everyone forgot about decades ago. The doors are locked, the cops have cordoned off the building, unaware we're right under their noses. For an indefinite period, I'm forced to hide in plain sight with a mean girl. Tough. Rough. Dirty. A thief and a criminal. However, lost with her among the many empty rooms, I begin to get to know Aro in a completely different way. She's smart. Brave. Gentle. Sexy...
Everything changes. It's this place. It has some effect on people. There's a silly urban legend in Shelburne Falls about mirrors: you shouldn't lean your back against them, because they're gateways. And we've knowingly stepped through the looking glass. County records be damned. There was never a speakeasy here. This is the Carnival Tower.
