“No,” she says, quick to assuage him. “I’m not sure…honestly,
Daniel, I’m not sure I dislike the person I’m becoming in this
world.”
Kent is surprised by this, his eyes opening wide.

“The old me is gone,” Fay continues, “but…the new me? She’s not half bad. I just wish…that your father realized that. That I want to be here. Honestly, I said some stuff to him today about well,
about wanting to explore the relationships with the jerks my father
introduced me to the other day.”
She laughs then – she must see something on Daniel’s face as he
reacts to her words.
“No, Daniel,” she says, her voice a little more cheerful now, “I
didn’t mean any of it. I just said it to piss him off. I just wish that you dad would figure out that I want to be here, with you, and. with…I guess with him. I don’t want to be on my father’s side. I would be more than happy to pledge myself to the Lippert family. I’m just not going to do it because he forces me to. God, if he were just…a little bit kinder to me.”
“More flies with honey,” Daniel says, his voice understanding. “That I do get. But I’m not sure that my dad will ever understand
something like that. Allegiance, in response to kindness? It’s not

“Well,” Fay says, a little pity in her voice. It ranklos Kont to hear it. “That’s really a shame, isn’t it?”

As much as he hates to admit it, their quiet conversation outside… it’s given him a lot to think about.
The next morning, a car takes Fay to the stables, as requested. It’s not Jerome driving this time and she stays quiet on the journey there. She’d been miserable all night, but a smile tugs at her lips as
the driver pulls up to the barn.
As Fay gets out of the car, her mind elsewhere, she does at
double–take when she sees a flash of long purple hair –
What-
“Oh my god,” Fay says, standing shocked and still as Janeen. peeks her head out of the barn.
And then the sisters both scream, flying across the ground
towards each other, colliding and wrapping their arms around
each other, holding tight, each hardly able to believe that the
other is real.
“What are you doing here,” Fay asks, unable to stop the tears

streaming down her cheek.
“I can’t believe you have a horse!” Janeen says at the same
moment, laughing.

Fay steps back, holding her sister at arm’s length. “Seriously,” she says, shaking her head and marveling at her sister. “How did you get here?”
“Lippert,” Janeen says with a little shrug. “He came by the club last night and asked me if I wanted to see you. We struck a little
deal.”
Fay shakes her head, unbelieving. Of all of the people in the world who she thought would help her reconnect with her sister…
The last on the list would have been Kent.
What the hell had changed?
