Chapter 185
I drag my hand down my face and force myself to look at Kent. He's looking right
at me, of course, from his place outside the room. Looking at me as I sit in the
clothes he sent, having a movie night with his son.
“Is it a surprise?” Daniel asks, working hard to pull Kent's attention back to him. It
doesn’t work. Kent keeps his eyes fixed on me. “I'm just having a nice evening in
with my fiancé, after all,” Daniel continues. “What's so surprising about that.”
Kent ignores his son. I shift uncomfortably under his gaze, looking down at the
popcorn in my lap. I look up when I hear Kent speak again.
“Well,” he says, his voice conclusive. “I wouldn't want to interrupt. You two have
fun.” He pauses, looking me straight in the eye for a good ten seconds before
turning slowly and striding away, perfectly in control. Daniel rudely slams the door
after him.
“Daniel,” I sigh. “Do you have to be such a dick?”
“He's being a dick, Fay!” Daniel explodes, throwing his hands in the air. “What
he’s doing to you — how he’s treating you! I'm saving you from that!”
“Daniel,” I hesitate, looking at him with sorrow on my face. “Did

He goes still, staring at me with his mouth open. I trace the design
on my duvet, awkward.
“Seriously?” Daniel breathes. “He got to you too?”
Nook up at him, a little rueful. He did.
“Can we just...enjoy the night?” I sigh, gesturing towards the
empty side of the bed. “You scared him away — isn't that what you
wanted?”
Daniel sighs too, putting his forehead in his hand and closing his eyes to think it
through.
“Just come watch the movie with me” I plead softly. It breaks my heart to see my
friend so upset, even though...well, even though I know that this isn’t going to
end well for us. That if I start sleeping with his dad, things are forever going to be
changed between
Daniel and me..
And suddenly I decide that what I actually want — really — is one last real night
with my best friend. While he’s my best friend.
Daniel nods then, perhaps coming to the same conclusion, and
climbs back into the bed with me. I rest my head on his shoulder
and he gives me a chaste little kiss on the forehead, both of us apparently
deciding not to talk about it. Perhaps, in this case,
silence is best.

We finish Clueless, and a couple more movies, before I eventually drift off to
sleep with my head still on my friend's shoulder.
