From A8:
Danny gave himself one last look, pulling down his lower eyelid to expose the red blood vessels underneath. Rather than take the shower, he left the bathroom and limped over piles of clothes and back to bed.
Chapter X
The buzzer rang, and Danny buzzed the pizza delivery guy in. His pulse quickened and he shoved a few pillows back into the proper places on the couch. It was Saturday night and he had a Buffy marathon planned.
Tugging the bottom of his t-shirt down with both hands, he trotted toward the door, already tasting the cheese and pepperoni in his mind. At the knock, he swung the door back.
"Hey, Mike."
"Two pies and breadsticks. Your lady friend coming over again tonight?" Mike winked - he was fatherly, with a mustache that obscured his upper lip. Somehow, Danny was still using "the girlfriend" to explain his orders away.
"You bet."
