"How was your flight, son?"

Teddy leaned away from Mr. Caldwell's scotch-scented breath and forced a smile. "Fine. Crowded."

"I hear you," he said, laughing uproariously. "I hate airplanes. Back in the day, you could get a first class seat and live like a king."

"I'm actually a little tired," Teddy said, getting to his feet. "I think I'll head to bed early."

"Of course, of course." He didn't bother getting to his feet, waving Teddy off with a loose gesture. He didn't seem to notice he came with inches of shattering the scotch on the floor.

Teddy grabbed his bags, full of souvenirs from the most recent dinner meeting of his frat brothers. Luke had given him a particularly lurid pair of orange and purple socks with the Sigma Alpha Omega logo on it. His daughter insisted Teddy put them on immediately, or risk not getting any cookies. They were surprisingly comfortable.

Focused on not dropping anything, he almost didn't notice the petite woman rushing around the corner in time to sidestep. She ducked her head, muttering an apology in broken English.

"It's my fault," Teddy said, frowning. Even when he made a point to look for Carlos every day, he very rarely seen any of the people who worked around the Caldwells’ house. He was almost certain he'd never seen any other women helping Theresa keep the house. "My name is Teddy. Are you here helping Theresa?"

The maid ducked her head even farther. She was younger than Carlos' mother, her hair streaked with dust and flour. "No English," she said, fidgeting anxiously.

Cursing under his breath, Teddy waved her off. He'd been meaning to learn Spanish for months, but every time he thought about it, he ended up texting Carlos instead. He was pretty sure he passed well beyond creepy now.

He watched her scurry away, an unpleasant feeling swirling in his stomach. In his room, nothing had changed, and he set his bags down. He meant to unpack them but got distracted calculating the number of hours he'd been gone. Not long enough for anything bad to happen, surely.

Distractedly undressing, he crawled into bed, then got back out to brush his teeth. The second time he laydown, he was just dozing off when he got thirsty. The third time, it was an itchy bug bite that drove him into the bathroom for an antihistamine. By nine o'clock, he'd gotten up eleven times and had never been further from sleep.

When his stomach growled, he sat up in bed with a disgusted huff. "I give up," he announced to the room. He pulled on a pair of pajama pants, purple with orange cuffs, and his bathrobe, red plaid, and headed downstairs.

It wasn't unusual for the Caldwells to entertain well into the night, but he was surprised to stumble across Chloe Caldwell sitting alone in the tiny vestibule between the great hall and the dining room. She was talking on the phone, so engrossed in her conversation that she didn't even notice him standing there.

"Peter didn't even finish his dinner, it was that bad," she said, examining her nails.
