Rory stood in front of the Bitch Pit’s full-length mirror, gave his long forelock a toss.
“Dang, Rory,” said Yulia, as she walked by with Matt D. and Matt G. Many of the loft’s denizens knew Rory by name now. “Lookin’ good.”

He’d bought them two years ago at a thrift store in Ravenswood, had no idea what to wear them with—till now. “How’s my hair?”
Fabi straightened with pomade on her palms, ruffled and scrunched his mop till it stood up in a tousled cloud, the front hanging loosely over one eye. “I wanna fuck the shit out of you.”
“Some other time, doll,” Rory purred. “Right now, we hunt.”
