Chapter Preview:
Billy was leaning against the hood of his car, arms crossed, that familiar cocky smirk on his face as she approached. His eyes flicked over her, taking in her outfit, and she could see the appreciation there, but he didn’t comment on it. Instead, he pushed off the car and opened the passenger door for her, his grin widening. “Ready for your big night out, princess?” She rolled her eyes, slipping into the seat. “Just drive, Hargrove.” Billy laughed as he climbed into the driver’s seat, the engine roaring to life as they sped down the quiet streets of Hawkins. The bar she’d picked wasn’t too far, but it was far enough from the usual spots that they wouldn’t run into anyone they knew. That was important. She needed to keep this off the radar, needed to keep her cover intact while still getting what she needed.
