"Yes, okay Now I understand There are a couple of reasons I didn’t tell her The first is that we didn’t decide on that plan until about fifteen e started The second e needed her reaction to be authentic" Fane realized as soon as Jen’s face began to turn shades of purple that that last part ht not have been necessary

"Please, please, for the love of all things that are not olves, tell me you did not just say you wanted her reaction to be authentic" Jen sounded so cal

Fane didn’t get a word out before a fist suddenly connected with the left side of his face He was truly in shock He had never been hit by a girl, and although it didn’t hurt, he felt really bad that she felt his behavior deserved physical violence

When he turned his head, he looked at Jen only to see that she was in turn looking at Sally, as ju out any and all expletives she could think of

"Holy crap,hard!" Sally yelled

Jen’s rin spread across it "That was so bad ass! It’s about tinize that my way has so broken, it was definitely worth it," Sally told her

Fane knelt down on one knee in front of the two girls startling them into silence

He laid his hand across his heart and bowed his head

"I am truly sorry that my actions caused so much pain It truly wasn’t my intention and it tore a hole in iveness, but I understand if you do not give it," Fane told them with all sincerity

Jen and Sally looked at Fane and then at each other Then they looked at Vasile who had silently been watching the whole thing

"Is he for real?" Sally asked Vasile

"I ordered him to do it, therefore he could not disobey Ultier should be at me And yes, he is for real, as you put it," Vasile explained

"Fane," Sally began and then used her hand to tilt his head up so that he was looking at them, "we knohy you did it, and it was actually an awesoy It’s just that we had to watch as Jacque sobbed so hard that she was puking up her guts, and then she just passed out It was like her brain just couldn’t handle what her e to her body, so it just turned off It was horrible So even though we knoas probably the best strategy, we had to defend our girl Of course we forgive you I wish I could tell you how Jacque is going to react when you tell her what you had to do, but it could go either way She may be so thankful you’re alive that she doesn’t care, or she may be in such shock froood luck with that" And with that Jen and Sally turned and left him in silence
