Tyler would never do something so humiliating.

From the front seat, the designated driver asked, "Where to?"

Tyler had no desire to go home tonight. He simply leaned toward Athena and said, "I'm staying at your place."

Athena hadn't planned on letting Tyler crash at her apartment. She'd just gotten some new photos of Kerwin and wanted to look through them in peace. Even after shedding tears for him for a week, she still felt it wasn't enough-she'd probably spend the next month in a daze.
