In my mind, London was not just the best next step but the only one that made any sense. We’d been lied to for years, and for what purpose? None that I could think of. At the moment, the realization left me in shock, but I knew as soon as I had a second to sit down and process everything other emotions would prevail.

Piers didn’t share my assessment.

“That would be the best way to get to the bottom of whatever this is.” He shook his head. “Unfortunately, I can’t go out of the country right now. Not with so much unknown about the threat against Tenor and Mia.”

His words drove a knife into my chest. To say Tenor and Mia instead of Bachelor International made everything I was doing seem much more personal. I couldn’t help but wonder if he’d worded it that way on purpose. Was it possible Piers knew of my involvement or my role in that threat?

I didn’t think so. While we were nowhere near as close as we’d been in the past, I could tell based on what little time I’d spent with him that at his core Piers hadn’t changed since those days at the group home. If he knew of my involvement, he’d call me out on it.

Since he didn’t know, that made our current conversation the perfect time to confess everything. Now would be when I should drag all my dirty secrets out of the dark and expose them to the light.

But I couldn’t because I was scared. Scared of the disappointment I’d see in Piers when he looked at me. Scared he’d leave and that this time I’d never see him again. Scared he’d be angry and wouldn’t let me explain.

Could I explain?

I wasn’t sure, so I said nothing about the Organization and agreed with him that the timing wasn’t right for either of us to leave the country.

“We can look into Mr. Newsome as much as we’re able to from here, and if after the threat is gone, we need more information than what we’ve found, then maybe we can take off for London.”

Again I felt the urge to speak up and confess that I was the threat against his friends. That they would be fine with me in London. And again I failed to do so.

“Yes,” I agreed with Piers. “That sounds like the best thing to do.”

Besides, I told myself. I had been avoiding the Organization for the past few days. It was possible they’d sent someone to Boston to hasten my uncompleted job. If so, I needed to be nearby to protect Tenor, Mia, and Piers. Another good reason not to travel to London—not just yet anyway.

Piers chuckled.

“Is something funny?” I asked.

“Not really,” he said, but his smile hadn’t disappeared. “It’s just I was getting ready to ask you if everything was okay because you had an odd expression on your face. Then I realized what a stupid question that was. Of course everything’s not okay. How could it be?”

“Everything feels more okay when you’re with me.
