Chapter 129
Suddenly, I hear the noise of Daniel's door snicking shut down the hall and my
mouth drops open as I put the pieces together.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Daniel had a guy in his room last night!
1 giggle a little to myself, pressing my hand over my mouth to contain the noise.
He'd told me he was interested in someone, but
I hadn't realized he was sleeping with them. How long had this
been going on?
I take a few steps into the hall, peering down the steps, but
whoever it is has disappeared. I shake my head, then, starting
down the stairs myself as I consider that this is certainly not a mark in the be—
loyal-to—Daniel category. Clearly, he’s not being loyal to me — not even really
pretending to be.
Oh well. A problem for another time, I think, walking down the hall and pressing
the door open to the kitchen.
It's very early, but there are still a few people here, getting their day.
started. I walk over to the espresso machine and make myself a
cup, looking around for Kent. I hope I get to ask him about a trip to

I screw my mouth to the side, though, disappointed when I realize that he’s not
here. I lean back against the counter on which
the espresso machine rests, taking a sip of my hot drink and considering my next
choices.
To my surprise, Jerome pushes through the door to the kitchen and smiles at me,
coming right over. “Hey,” he says. “Stables
today?”
I nod eagerly. “Yeah, I'm just looking for Kent first I wanted to ask
him —”
His grimace stops my words, though. “Ohhh,” he says, “sorry, Fay. But he’s
already gone.”
“What!” I exclaim, my shoulders slumping in my disappointment. “Man, I got up
early and everything! I thought I would catch him.”
“Sorry,” he says, putting his hands in his pockets. “Yeah, he’s got a lot of
business today and wants to get started early. But!” He
gives me a big smile here. “He wants me to take you to the tables. So,” he gives
me a deep, mocking bow, “I'm at your service, my
lady.”
“What?” I say, shocked. “Seriously? You?”
He laughs and straightens up, nodding. “I know. I was surprised as you are. He
gave me that look that meant touch her and your

die, though. So.” He shrugs, “best behavior and everything. But looks like I'm
back on good terms with the boss.”
“He’s so crazy,” I murmur, looking down into my coffee. “One day he’s punching
you for hanging out with me, the next he assigns you to hang out with me. I can't
make any sense out of him.”

well have a luxurious breakfast.”
Jerome nods eagerly in agreement and heads off to ask whoever is cooking
today to make us something. Then, we sit down at my
usual table, chatting passively. About thirty minutes into our meal,
Daniel joins us, the two greeting each other casually as Daniel
comes and gives me a kiss on my cheek.

Huh, I think, looking between them as
