“How long have we been waiting?”
“Hour. More?”
“Our ride should be here. When did we leave Ethan’s parents’ cottage?”
“Midnight?”
“What do you think we hit?”
“One of Ethan’s ‘fairies’?”
“You heard him, too? The stories about the autumnal equinox, ‘moonlight giving fae animal form’ and to stay out of the woods?”
“Ethan’s a weirdo. Druids and Wicca and runes.”
“I heard… things in the forest.”
“People pissing. Or fucking.”
“This was after the accident. They sounded… joyous… and hateful.”
“You were shitfaced. You called, right?”
“I think so, but I can’t recall getting here. You?”
“No. Another round?”
