CHAPTER 15

Mimosa

Drake gives me a dress, sensible sandals, and a cute sweater to match the dress. Surprisingly, there’s a pair of leggings too.

I hold those up and glance at Drake. “You’re okay with me wearing these?”

“I wouldn’t have put them there if I wasn’t,” he grumbles. “It’s gonna be windy. I don’t want to hear you complaining about your legs being cold.”

That’s strangely sensible coming from Drake. I get dressed, glancing at myself in the mirror once I’m done. I look good, and everything matches my hair.

I match Drake’s outfit too, I notice.

It’s a strange thing to see. I’ve never thought of him as particularly fashionable, but thinking back, he does seem to put pride in his appearance. Matching outfits, though, are a little amusing.

And a lot weird.

“Are you going to behave?” he asks, pausing with his hand on the door.

“Have I ever not behaved?” I respond flatly. He scowls, and I suppress a small smile.

Maybe I do get a small kick out of annoying him. I might as well enjoy my small rebellions, since I can’t prevent him from doing worse things to me.

“Did you ever think of being a lawyer instead of a shrink?” he asks sourly. “Because you sure do like the loopholes.”

I don’t say anything, although I can tell Drake wants me to.

After a few moments, he scoffs and turns away from me. “Okay, come on. It’s a two-hour drive.”

I follow him to the elevator, and we ride all the way down to the garage. His convertible is parked in a semi-private area of the garage. Well, one of his cars—I assume at least one or two others on the same floor are also his.

He lowers the top on the car and turns on music, then drives us out onto the streets of New Bristol.

It’s strange to think that I haven’t been outside properly for ages. I stare up at the tall building, the penthouse only barely visible from down here.

“We’re going to Mer d’Or,” Drake says, as if I’d asked.

I glance over to him, squinting against the harsh sunlight. “The casino town?”

“It’s not just casinos,” Drake mutters. “They’ve got a nice boardwalk. We could do a boat tour. Go sailing. Enjoy the beach. Get tickets to whatever show is going on.”

“But you also want to go to the casinos,” I say.

“Well, yeah,” he says, shrugging. “Do you have a problem with casinos?” His smile is a little nasty as he asks, “Parents used to gamble?”

“I don’t know if they did,” I say honestly. “I don’t have the money to gamble. Irene and I were living frugally.”

“You know Chase’s bitch? Her daddy got her in a pickle because he gambled too much,” Drake says, offering the information casually. “Seems like all of you end up punished for other people’s fuck-ups, huh?”

Apparently so. I wonder if Irene regrets putting me into this position—if she even knows what became of me.

I hope she hasn’t had a good night’s sleep since that day.

“You’ll have to be careful not to end up like him, then,” I answer.
