“WHAT A MORNING,” Izzy said as she bought her lunch and sat down next to Alli.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” asked Alli, not thrilled at the prospect of lunch with Izzy, but also slightly worried that someone might have seen her kiss Bea. Or even that Bea might have told someone.

Shit. She’d been the one blackmailing Bea and now she’d turned around and given Bea blackmail material right back. Maybe Bea was going to report her for harassment. She hadn’t thought about that.

“First Daria disappears, then Charles kicking up a fuss like that,” Izzy said as she picked up her sandwich.

Alli squinted at her. “Charles kicking up a fuss?”

“Oh, right, you were in therapy,” said Izzy, putting the sandwich back down again. “Charles went off to make a phone call after breakfast, you know, like he always does.”

“Does he?” Alli was beginning to tune her out already, starting to think about her own problems. One thing was becoming quite clear to her. She shouldn’t have kissed Bea. And she definitely shouldn’t do it again. Even if the thought made her feel warm and oozy inside.

“Yes, obviously,” Izzy said. “He calls his kids and then he calls his solicitor to see how his case is going. Seriously? We’ve been here for days already.”

“Get to the point.”

“Well,” Izzy said happily, picking up her sandwich again. “He comes back from the phone and he’s seething, demanding to know where Luke is, angrier than I’d ever imagined he could get.” She took a mouthful and chewed thoughtfully. “I didn’t think he really belonged here at all, but now that I’ve seen him get angry…”

“What was he angry about, though?” asked Alli.

Izzy shrugged. “Not a clue. He didn’t say. I assume it was something someone told him on the phone, though. Probably his solicitor, since his kids are pretty young still. Haven’t seen him since either.”

“Huh.” Alli was about to say that it’d be good riddance if Charles had actually left, wet weekend that he was, but she was stopped in her tracks as Bea walked into the dining room.

In a moment she was short for breath, she was pulsing inside, and the room started to shrink and get awfully warm.

There was, she realized, a pull there, something that made her want to do the whole thing over again, even though she knew it was crazy and stupid.

Bea turned and saw her and gave a half-smile and Alli steeled herself, forced herself not to smile back.

Instead, she dumped the rest of her sandwich on her tray and got up, slamming her chair back to the table, and walking out without a word of goodbye to Izzy or anyone else.
