4. Confessions

“Amandine, care to tell us what's on your mind? You haven't said a word for the entire flight! Unlike Marion,” Camille says, shooting her an angry glance.

“You're exaggerating! I'm not the one who's been badgering all the stewardesses! And all that just to ask for Vittel instead of Evian. You could defend me instead of just sitting there, Amandine,” retorts my best friend.

“Evian has a strange taste to it. I can't help it if I'm a little difficult,” my sister grumbles.

“Difficult? I couldn't have said it better myself!” Marion says, pouncing on her suitcase

I want to ditch them both right there, at the airport, and run as far away as possible. Camille and Marion love to provoke one another, to test each other until one of them starts yelling and creates a scene, if possible in public. That said, they're right. I haven't been very talkative during the flight. Or for the whole week, as a matter of fact. Watching the scene between Eleanor and Gabriel turned my world upside down. To protect Soledad and avoid a gigantic argument with my lover, I didn't bring the subject up. For once. But it's not because I don't want to.

I put a lot of time into my work. I went out, I saw people. And I spent as little time as possible with Diamonds. Avoiding him isn't the solution, perhaps. But I haven't come up with anything better. I secretly hoped he would bring up the subject himself. That he'd talk to me about his discussion with Eleanor. But that hasn't happened yet. Gabriel left yesterday for LA, accompanied by Silas, Virgile, Paris and Tristan, without suspecting the mental torture he's inflicting upon me. I don't intend to let him get away so easily. I'm going to end up asking him for an explanation. But when?

It's his birthday. The Diamonds mansion will be teeming with people for three days. Bad idea.

But that would teach him a lesson!

I still can't get used to it and, judging from their dumbfounded faces, neither can Camille and Marion. The Diamonds residence, or rather their palace on Manhattan Beach, sparkles with thousands of lights as we arrive at the huge front gate. I can't wait to be in this calm, serene, gigantic haven that's cut off from the rest of the world. Camille scared us more than once on the drive here. But she insisted on taking the wheel, and even sent away the limo that was waiting for us at the airport.

“I rented this car so we could be independent. Silas still doesn't see the point. But unlike you, Amandine, I don't always let my man decide things for me!”

“Camille, you know very well that you aren't going to use it this weekend.”

“So what? At least I got the last word in!”

Grow up, Camille.

Our welcome committee is waiting for us. Paris jumps on us, her tongue hanging down and slobbering. Then it's time to see our respective other halves: Silas kisses Camille greedily, Tristan holds his sister's hand to piss her off and Gabriel pulls me to him to give me a burning kiss on my neck.
