Outside the club, Julian threw me into the back seat of the car and sat in himself. I got up

dizzily, feeling like I was going to get a concussion.

Julian took wet wipes from the toolbox to wipe his face. Eagle–eyed, I saw what appeared to be a condom behind the tissue box. He started questioning me, “What are you doing here? To gather Exhibit A of my infidelity?
