“Matt told me where you live,” she cries

“How did he know?” I demand “No one has been out here” Blake was the first person I brought here, other than my father Well, and now Mr Anderson

She sniffs “He didn’t say Just that he knew you brought her here when you were supposed to be in New York”

“How the fuck did he know I didn’t stay in New York?” I bark,her flinch

“I don’t know,” she whines “Please pull it out”

Blake re I start to pace How in the fuck did he know I didn’t leave? Was he …?

“He atching me,” Blake speaks

I come to a stop “What do you mean? What makes you think that?”

She puts the cap on the needle “That night at the house of Lords party—in your room—he told me that the weekend you came home early when you were supposed to be in New York, you had blocked o to the house of Lords” Her eyesme here?”

My hands fist at the thought of hi her I came home to surprise her with her fantasy but what if I hadn’t come back? What would he have done?

“We had sex outside In the woods,” Blake announces nervously “You had texted me to come find you and—”

“What are you talking about?” I interrupt her

She looks at Cindy who still quietly cries, and then back to me “When I called you You lied and said you had to run into Barrington”

“The part aboutyou,” I snap

Sing, she repeats “You sent me a text after the phone call Told me to come find you”

“Blake” I storm over to her “No, I didn’t”

“Yes, you did!” she argues

“Show me,” I snap

Sighing, she points at the stairs “My phone is in the bedroom”
