When we get back, Beau and Leo are up. Leo looks agitated—and cranky.

“Oh, there you both are!” she says, the second she sees us.

Oh-ho, so now Leo is jealous for a change. Shane is unaware but to me it’s as plain as the skinny little nose on her skinny little face! Well, well, well! Her turn!

“Hey!” he says, all alight with delight at seeing her. “Should we get breakfast—all of us?”

I look at him pointedly. What exactly did we just have?

He doesn’t notice. He’s so joyful to see Leo. I immediately feel cross. And deflated.

Beau’s cross too. He’s been getting texts for the last day. When I asked what was up he said he would tell me later. Uninformed, I still assume it’s the evil Kurtis. Hopefully he’s just urging mayhem, not anything mushy. Hopefully Beau knows he’s way too good for Kurtis. I feel my mood worsen.

We sit down in the dining room and have breakfast again. I watch the way Shane’s dark eyes glow when he looks at Leo, in a way they don’t when he’s talking to me. I don’t know why I’m so riddled with jealousy. I didn’t even think I was wired that way. But I am.

I feel excoriated, a new word I heard recently that I’ve been wanting to use, which means “abraded, chafed, or criticized brutally.” It now feels totally appropriate.

I smash my eggs till the yellow yolks run like a river of blood.
