Prologue: Sick Anticipation

Spencer grabs his t-shirt from the floor and pulls it over his head, not noticing that it's inside-out in his haste. "Leaving so soon?"

"Is that a problem?" he asks offhandedly as he checks the time on his phone. 10:37 am. "I have somewhere important to be. So if you don't mind."

"You know, Spencie, I don't know what changed. But I like the new you." Cat says, smiling up at him. "You finally let loose. I respect you for that."

"Thanks, I guess," Spencer mumbles. He's going to be late, and as his friend with benefits has made clear in the past, he's a terrible liar. His former friends are bound to see through any excuse he tries to give.

"Call me later if you aren't busy?" Cat asks softly.

"Maybe," Spencer says, pulling on his shoes. He shoves his phone in his pocket and jogs down the staircase towards the foyer.

Today is going to suck.
