“Obviously, dad, that is not what I want,” he says, frustrated. “But
she betrayed us tonight — and made me look like an idiot!”
Kent's eyes shift back to me. “Is that true?” he asks. “Did you
make Daniel look like a fool?”
I exhale, exasperated, spreading my hands innocently. “I didn’t do anything,
okay? If anything, my father made Daniel look like a fool. The whole thing was a
setup — he threw the party so that he could
introduce me to all his friends’ single sons. By the time I figured it
out — what was I supposed to do, storm out of there?”
Kent nods slowly, figuring out the darker motives behind my father’s little party,
considering the consequences for himself.
“Besides,” I say, shooting Daniel a dirty look of my own. “It's not
like Daniel was playing Mr. Attentive Fiancé all night — he was off
playing volleyball for hours. What was I supposed to do — just not talk to anyone
because he wasn’t at my side?”
Daniel and Kent both glare at me then and I realize, suddenly, that this is what
they both would have preferred.
“Seriously?!” I exclaim, throwing my hands up in the air. “Are you guys serious?
How the hell was I supposed to know any of this? I didn’t know who Ivan was
until we were already talking with each

other — and, to that point, nobody told me I wasn’t supposed to talk to some guy
named Ivan anyway!”
I glare at both of them then, though neither flinch.

“Honestly,” I continue, exhausted by the whole situation, “you two, you hold me to
some seriously unfair standards. I don’t know these people, I don't know what the
rules are. And yet you expect me to intuit them and act precisely how you want
me to.”
I shake my head, my lips drawing to a firm line, and then I cross my arms over
my chest, just as they're both doing. There's silence between us as we all glare
around in a circle.
Daniel gives first. I see him sigh and loosen his arms, putting his
hands in his pockets instead. He sees that I have a point and he
looks down at the floor, a little ashamed of himself.
Kent, however, doesn’t give an inch.
“Leave us,” he says to Daniel, not looking at him.
Daniel opens his mouth to protest, but Kent cuts him off..
“Leave us,” he repeats, not taking his eyes off of me.
Daniel just shakes his head and leaves without another word, not
even looking at me. I watch him go and then turn back to Kent.
“You're on dangerous ground, Fay,” Kent says, his voice low.
