Jerome and | come back a few hours later after an afternoon
of light chat. We kept it easy, neither of us wanting to addressthe elephant between us. Instead, we talk mostly about horses.When we enter the house we're too busy laughing, the dregs ofour milkshakes still in our hands, to notice Kent standing in thehallway staring at us.
Jerome notices first, stopping in his tracks and clearing his throat,
the smile dropping from his face. Kent says nothing, just slowly puts his hands in his pockets and shifts his weight to his backfoot, giving us both a long stare.
Something about it — | don’t know what, maybe the arrogance in his stance, or the way that he stopped us both in our tracks justby standing there — makes me roll my eyes. Despite everything — all of the trauma of the afternoon, and the crazy intimidation |felt on the third floor last night — Kent's macho bullshit still makes me want to
push back.
“My dad wasn't in the mood to feed me,” | report calmly, “so Jerome took me to get cheeseburgers and milkshakes. You wantsome?” Innocently, | hold my milkshake out to him, straw first.
Kent's eyes flick to the milkshake and then back up to my face. “No, Fay,” he responds, his voice low. Then he nods to Jerome,dismissing him. Jerome is gone before | can even see him move,

“Because,” Kent replies, still standing close to me. “I didn’t think you'd like it very much if | told you that he called you aconceited, spoiled, ungrateful whore.”
| can’t help the smile that tugs at my lips as | look up into Kent’sface. But | am surprised to see Kent give me one in return. Mystomach turns over at the sight of this, at the discovery that I’ve...pleased him. And that | quite liked doing it.
Suddenly, | want to please him again.
But then, just as suddenly, | am hit with flashes of the memoriesof last night of how frightened | was when he moved his hand
low on my body, touching places no one has touched before. And | flinch away, knowing — deep down - that I’m...I’m just notready
for it. Not now.
“Fay,” Kent says, his voice oddly choked as | take a step back from him, looking at the floor.
