I still didn’t know how we were going to get off the island, but the first order of business was to save Tessa — even if she was a bot — from a forced marriage to someone obsessed with the idea that people or restaurants were going to “trick” him.
“Oh, I forgot you were there,” I said to Henry. “Thanks for the tacos, but shouldn’t you be getting back to the PSLM²? Without you, the team is now missing its cowboy.”
“So eager to get rid of me?” Henry shot back. “In other words, what you’re telling me is that you don’t want competition for Tessa’s affections!”
I put a hand on his shoulder. “First of all, fuck you. You were going to run away and let her self-destruct. And second, dude, there’s no contest. But if you want to stick around, maybe there are ways you could help. You don’t have a boat by any chance?”
“I do not. But I know who does! Let’s go!”
And we set out, the three of us linking arms and striding triumphantly out of the bugalow, although we had to pivot and do a sort of sideways kickline thing to make it through the doorway.
Our celebratory mood didn’t even last across the front porch.
