“No, I’m not,” she said, reddening delightfully. “Maybe I’m just not as well read as you is all.”
Inferiority complex! thought Kevin. Fucking bingo!
“Okay. But are you seriously telling me you never heard of All My Colors?”
“The Bunnymen song?” said Lewis.
Kevin ignored him again.
“All My Colors, the novel,” he said, turning his full attention on Zoe. “All My Colors, by Todd Milstead.”
“No,” said Zoe. “I haven’t heard of it. Should I?”
Kevin smiled. It wasn’t a nice smile.
“Oh boy,” he said. “Have I got a surprise in store for you…”
