Chapter 0208


    Kent blinks at me then, his lips parting a little in surprise; and then he shakes his head, blinking as a little smirk pulls at his


    mouth. “Come on, Fay,” he sighs, reaching out a hand that he ces between my shoulder des, ushering me


    neatly towards the open door. “Come inside. Wee home.”


    Surprised, pleased, | do as he says, only turning back for the little suitcase. “Leave it,” he murmurs,


    continuing to urge me forward. “They should have taken it in for you anyway.”


    “Oh,” | say, ncing backwards at it and then at Marco and


    Gianni, who seem to be realizing the same thing at the same time. Marco sighs and puts his head in his hands, but | give them


    both a smile. Kent’s back turned, Gianni


    risks giving me a little wave


    guards like me, at least a little bit, | walk with Kent into the house and look up at him. “Did you have a nice night?” | ask, a little


    desperate to break the silence.


    Kent looks down at me for a


    moment while he closes the door, but he doesn’t answer my question. “Did you have a nice night, Fay?”


    “Um,” | say, my fingers reaching up to tangle in my hair, which | know is...unkempt, after a little — just a little — frisky business


    with Ivan and a night sleeping outside.


    Kent’s face goes dark as he sees me


    ying with my hair

    Realizing that I’m giving away more than | want to, | drop my


    hands and fold them neatly behind my back.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “What happened?” Kent asks, taking a step closer to me, glowering down at me so | have to tilt my head back and look up at


    him. “Did he touch you?”


    | frown at Kent then, a little defiance curling in my stomach as he res at me. “Was he...not supposed to touch me?” | ask. “It


    was a date, Kent. You knew that


    when you sent me.”
