He was born in the wrong era, on the wrong side of the river, with the ability to do anything and finding nothing he wants to do.”

    “What’s this?” Nick said. “Bedtime?”

    “It’s cold in here,” I murmured.
    “Doesn’t feel cold.”
    “It’s cold,” Clay growled.
    “I could start a fire.”
    “I could start one, too,” Clay said. “With your clothes. Before you get them off.”
