Chapter 14

Every step Gwen took down the hall towards her father's hotel room strengthened her resolve, weakening the guilt as anger and indignation took its place.

Yes, this is the right thing to do. I need to do this, Gwen thought. It felt right, and productive, and it kept her from thinking about Ben.

She rapped her knuckles against David's door. When he didn't answer in the first couple seconds, she knocked again. She kept knocking until David hauled the door open.

"Gwen! What are you doing?"

"We need to talk about what you did," Gwen said, pushing past him into the room. She'd spent far too much time having awkward conversations in doorways lately, and she intended to break that particular habit.

"Oh, that, yeah..." David said, looking down at the floor. He let the door swing shut. Thankfully, he wore his normal clothes rather than a hotel housecoat.

Good, Gwen thought, feel ashamed. You should be, after what you did.

"Gwen, sweetie, let me start by saying that I really did not intend to let any of that happen..."

"Well it did, whether you intended it to or not."

"Right. Still, you have to know how difficult it is for your mother and me to be around each other when the divorce comes up. It doesn't excuse our behavior, but I feel that you need to remember to take that into account with how you must be judging us right now."

Gwen paced around his room, walking up to the window and checking out the street view he had. She crossed her arms and glared at his reflection in the window.

"I'll give you that one. But then you have to remember that you both agreed to help me out despite your differences. I mean, do you even remember what you said and did?"

"Yes..." David said.

"Really? What about... Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. You see how angry I am? I want mom here, too! Come on, we're going to get her and then we're going to have this out."

She started for the door, but David caught her arm. "Please, Gwen, just wait a second. We do love you and we'd do anything for you, but you need to cut us some slack, too."

"You signed the contract. You knew what you were doing!" Gwen said, pulling her arm from his grasp.

"Yes, we did. But you signed it, too. And I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the pretend girlfriend thing back in New York. I think you need to step back and consider things before coming to tear our heads off."

Gwen felt shocked. She couldn't believe that her father would choose to throw that in her face. Well, she had some ammunition of her own.

"Fine, I should have told you about that sooner. But we're getting off topic here. You know what's on topic, though? You. You and a certain accented waitress you couldn't stop flirting with after getting a couple glasses of wine into you. Did you ever stop to think about how mom might feel about
