Sunday, October 1

WINSTON CORNERED Sai after dinner as they were leaving the hotel restaurant. Amy was with him, one of their childhood friends who had brought along her husband and their son to the group vacation. They both wore stern expressions, and Sai knew he wasn’t going to like whatever it was they wanted to say.

“You’re in dangerous territory,” Winston started.

“I agree. I didn’t believe it when I first heard about it. But now that I’ve seen it with my own eyes, it’s true,” Amy chimed in.

“What are you talking about?” Sai frowned and craned his neck to peer past them to where Ben was strolling farther away with Jacques, oblivious that Sai had been detained.

“That.” Winston pointed at his face, and Sai batted his hand away. Winston turned to Amy. “Did you see that?”

“Yes, I did.” Amy nodded and pinned Sai with the same don’t-try-to-fool-me look she used on her son.

“See what?”

“The look. It’s your possessive look.” Winston emphasized the word with a mocking half smile.

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Sai folded his arms across his chest.

“It’s the look you get when you’re falling for someone,” Amy explained.

“What?” Sai couldn’t believe he was hearing this. “I don’t have a look.”

“Yes, you do,” Winston replied. “But that’s not the point. The point is that you’re falling for the guy, but he’s leaving in two months. Don’t break the golden rule: don’t date foreigners, because they leave.”

“You’re dating a foreigner.”

“Jacques is different.” Winston waved it off. “He’s not leaving. He’s practically more Chinese than French.”

“So maybe Ben is different too.”

Two sets of eyebrows shot up, and Sai glared at them despite knowing he was going to lose the argument.

“Okay, fine. Maybe he’s not different. But you’re the one who told me to go after Ben in the first place. And now that we’re happy together, you’ve suddenly changed your mind?” Sai scowled pointedly at Winston, who had the decency to look contrite.

“I didn’t think it would go this far. It was only supposed to be a quick lay,” Winston muttered under his breath.

“Look, we’re just worried about you. Remember what happened when you broke up with what’s-his-name?” Amy said.

“Gar Wei,” Winston supplied with a nod. “He was hot.”

Sai rolled his eyes. “We didn’t break up. He was transferred to London for work. We weren’t a couple.”

“And you were devastated,” Amy continued.

“Devastated,” Winston emphasized. “You worked for one month straight, slept at the office, showered at the gym, had your assistant go buy you new clothes so you wouldn’t have to go home to change. It was disgusting.” Winston wrinkled his nose as if he were remembering how gross Sai had been during that month.

“You’re exaggerating. It wasn’t that bad.” Sai shook his head even as he lied through his teeth; it had been that bad. “So what is this? Some kind of intervention?” He bit out the words and threw his arms down to his sides. “Are you going to forbid me to see him?”

Winston and Amy shared a look, and Sai knew they had considered that possibility.
