Kat

Kat tried not to let thoughts of her pending date with Ford distract her too much as they rode the elevator downstairs to where breakfast was held.

Part of her wanted to completely dissect every interaction she and Ford had to this point to determine if his feelings matched her own. The other part of her wanted to bask in being with him right then.

The basking part won out.

When they reached the dining room, she spotted her brother sitting at a table by himself. She elbowed Ford and pointed toward him before grabbing a plate to load up with food.

After getting her breakfast, she wound her way through the tables scattered throughout the room and joined her brother.

“Good morning,” she said, slipping into a chair next to him.

He looked at her with concern on his face. “Good morning.” He paused and tilted his head as his gaze raked over her. “How are you feeling?”

She shrugged and nibbled on a piece of bacon. “Could be worse.”

Ford set a plate down next to her and claimed that seat. “What happened after we left?” Ford asked.

David snorted and shook his head. “Scott continued trying to talk, and I almost punched him.”

Kat choked on the coffee she’d just swallowed. “What?” she asked as she started coughing.

“He wouldn’t shut up,” David said, giving her the side eye. “He kept trying to talk to me about what happened and I didn’t want to hear it. Once he realized I was serious about punching him, he and his date left the table.”

Kat frowned briefly. That wasn’t exactly how she’d imagined the night before going.

“I didn’t realize you’d worked with him,” David said, looking at Ford.

Kat glanced his way and noticed that he looked sheepish. “I didn’t realize you knew him, otherwise I would have said something when he emailed me about sharing a table.”

Kat’s brows rose. “You chose to sit there?”

Ford nodded and dropped his gaze to the eggs on his plate, which he was pushing around with his fork. “If I’d known the history there, I wouldn’t have agreed. But I always got along with him and didn’t see the harm.”

Silence greeted Ford’s words. While a part of her was upset knowing that Ford had orchestrated the seating arrangements, she couldn’t be all that upset about it because he didn’t know her history with Scott. Very few people did, since she didn’t like talking about it. It solved nothing.

“So long as you don’t do it again,” David said, glaring at Ford.

“Trust me, I have no desire to talk to him ever again.”

Kat’s brows rose. She didn’t realize he felt so vehemently about it. Ford glanced at her and his brows furrowed. “Why do you look surprised?”

She shrugged. “I didn’t realize you felt that way.”

Ford laughed, but it wasn’t because something was funny. It sounded more disbelieving than anything. “You didn’t realize? I didn’t realize I had to make sure you knew that I thought cheaters were terrible people. What type of person do you think I am?”

Kat looked at him with horror on her face.
