CHAPTER 22

Jacey

“Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!” It was three-thirty on a Saturday night and Daniel was lit up like a creepy ghost in the kitchen in front of his laptop. He looked at me when he realized I was there. “Don’t you go home?”

“Not really, because I live here,” he surprised me by saying, even pointed towards an upward-leading stair on the side of the kitchen that I hadn’t known was there.

“Oh. I didn’t know anyone else actually lived here except maybe my bodyguard,” I replied. Daniel was a chef and a butler, but he was strangely efficient. He had the house staff rigged up so well that I barely ever noticed anyone else but him. The house might as well have been cleaned by magic. I sheepishly wobbled my head and grinned at him apologetically. “Sorry, you just surprised me.”

“I have trouble sleeping more than five hours at a time,” he admitted. “I tend to do a ten to three, and then I’m up, and then I nap after lunch. I’m always up around now.”

“With the lights off?” I asked, gesturing to the fact that he was in a dark room, lit only by the LED clock on the oven. I turned on the light and we both blinked and rubbed our eyes.

“Oh, my God,” he groaned. “Hi Mom, I didn’t see you come in. Here to talk about my life habits again?”

I had trouble not grinning at his exaggerated sarcasm.

“I know, I know. Sorry. Got ice cream?” I opened the freezer.

“It’s three in the morning,” he reminded judgmentally.

“Now look who’s being a mom,” I snorted. “Holy meatballs… What the fuck is this yellow ice cream?”

“Don’t touch it!” Daniel demanded, getting up from his chair.

I continued looking at the selection. “Oh, sweet baby Jesus… Is this… Sugar Cookie? What the—is the cookie pink? This looks amazing!”

“Get your greasy hacker hands off my Blue Bell ice cream, thank you,” he said, pulling the pint-sized carton of ice cream out of my hand. “It’s not Texas, you know. It’s hard to get this stuff in the Northwest,” he added with a whine.

“Is Texas where you’re from?” I asked, then looked over his head and reached in to grab some triple-chocolate. He didn’t grab it out of my hands.

“Yep,” he replied. “I came up here because my boyfriend wanted to start this fine dining place, you know. I was gonna help him run it. And then once we had it going, we were in the middle of a catering event for B&V that I worked crazy hard on, and then I caught my boyfriend fucking one of the waiters in the kitchen.” He looked up at the ceiling. “Anyway, I went into the gardens upset and Braum and Will were there and… I don’t know. They took pity on me and somehow I got a shot at this job. I thought I was gonna be here for like… a month while I figured out my shit, but then, you know. Five years later, and I’m still here.
