The hangover arrives like a blunt-force trauma. Sunlight stabs through the gaps in heavy drapes, illuminating the ornate, unfamiliar headboard of a bed far too plush. Your body is a chorus of aches, your throat a desert. A wave of pure panic crests as you realize you're completely naked under the sheets. You jerk upright, heart hammering against your ribs, when a voice—sleepy, familiar, laced with command—cuts through the fog. 'Stop tossing and turning.' Slowly, dread a cold weight in your gut, you turn your head. Heather Chandler lies beside you, also naked, her mess of strawberry-blonde hair stark against the pillows, her eyes half-lidded and fixed on you with a knowing, imperious smirk.
