Loving Him For 30 Days Chapter 47: Language
Cassian knocked on Noah’s door at half past seven on Thursday evening and didn’t have a reason ready for when it opened, which was new for him because he always had something ready.Noah opened the door in a plain sweatshirt with a book in his hand and looked at Cassian, not surprised exactly, more like he’d been expecting this and had just been waiting to see when.“Hey,” Cassian said.“Hey,” Noah said, and stepped back to let him in.The room was tidy in the way Noah kept it, everything in its place without looking arranged, a desk lamp on, tea steeping on the windowsill, the kind of quiet that came from someone who was genuinely comfortable in their own space. Cassian stood in the middle of it and looked at the bookshelf and felt the absence of anything useful to say very loudly.Noah sat on his bed and opened his book again, not rudely, just not making it into a thing.Cassian sat in the desk chair.“You’re not going to ask why I’m here,” Cassian said.“I figure you’ll get to it,
Loving Him For 30 Days Chapter 46: Jealous
Track practice on Tuesday afternoons ran until five, and by four forty-five the only people still on the track were the ones who had something to work through, and Eli was usually both.He was on his fourth cool-down lap, not running anymore, just walking the curve with his water bottle, when he heard footsteps behind him at the wrong pace for someone cooling down, too relaxed, not a training stride.“You’re Eli Thorne.”He turned around.Rafael was two steps behind him, in a Saint Aurelius athletics kit that was still new enough to not have lost its shape yet, with his curly hair damp from what had probably been an earlier session in the pool. “Yeah,” Eli said.“I saw you at breakfast,” Rafael said. “You run the four hundred.”“How do you know that.”“I asked someone.” He said it without embarrassment, just a fact. “I’m Rafael. Swimming. I just transferred from a school in California.”“I know,” Eli said. “Word travels fast around here.”“So I’ve noticed.” Rafael fell into step besi
Loving Him For 30 Days Chapter 45: Rafael
The dining hall on a Tuesday morning had its own rhythm. Eli knew it by now, the way the Bee’s Hive athletes claimed the tables nearest the east window, the way the Bird’s Nest students arrived precisely at seven forty-five with their books already open, the way the Owl’s Perch drifted in at whatever hour felt right to them and made it seem like a choice rather than lateness. He knew where the good coffee was and where the orange juice ran out first and which section of the serving line moved fastest. He was in the middle of all of it, tray in hand, Noah behind him debating out loud whether the dining hall’s Tuesday omelette was better or worse than the Monday one, which was a debate Eli had no strong feelings about but was participating in anyway because Noah needed an audience for it. Not dramatically. Just the way it did when something worth looking at had walked in. Eli didn’t notice immediately because he was focused on the omelette question and because he had learned over
Loving Him For 30 Days Chapter 44: He Hadn’t Examined
Cassian had been sitting in the student council room since seven in the morning.Not working, he had tried that, the retreat inventory was open on his laptop and he had read the same line eleven times and it still didn’t mean anything so he had closed it and sat there instead. He knew the broad shape of what was happening. Lucien had texted him at nine forty-three, two lines, the way Lucien texted when he was managing something and didn’t have the bandwidth to also manage how the recipient received it.Cassian had looked at that for a long time.Then he had put his phone face down and looked at the ceiling and thought about the bet, the card game, the stupid side wager that had started all of this, and felt the weight of it in the particular way he’d been feeling it for months, not guilt exactly, something more chronic than guilt, the awareness of being the person who had handed someone a loaded thing without knowing it was loaded and having to watch what it hit.The door opened at t
Loving Him For 30 Days Chapter 43: Everything Vivienne Knows
The coffee shop had no name on the door, just a number, and Vivienne Cole was already there when Seraphine arrived, sitting at the table furthest from the window with her back to the wall and a coffee she hadn’t touched.She was younger than Seraphine expected. Mid-twenties, composed in the way people got when they’d been managing other people’s messes long enough that stillness became a survival skill. The folder was on the table between them, thick enough that Seraphine’s eyes went to it before they went to Vivienne’s face.She sat down.“Start with the child,” Seraphine said.Vivienne wrapped both hands around her cup and without any greeting or formalities, she started;“I was hired as a financial analyst for the campaign fourteen months ago. Back-end work, accounts, disbursements, quarterly reconciliations, the documents nobody reads because they’re supposed to be boring.” She paused. “I found an anomaly in my third month. It was a recurring disbursement, monthly, routed throu
Loving Him For 30 Days Chapter 42: The Second Time
Eli had been in the Bee’s Hive kitchen since five forty-five, which was not a conscious decision so much as a body-knowing-before-the-brain-did situation.He had woken up in Lucien’s room in the Lion’s Den feeling restless, and that meant his head was already loud and had pulled on his clothes and left a note on the desk and gone to the one place that reliably made the loudness manageable.He made two batches of short bread. The first because he needed to and the second because the first was gone before it cooled, distributed to the small rotation of Bee’s Hive athletes who materialized in the kitchen at six thirty with the specific tragic energy of people who had seen the news alerts before they were fully awake.VALE FAMILY SCANDAL: FEDERAL MOTION FILED, PHARMACEUTICAL COVER-UP LINKED TO PERSONAL SETTLEMENT.SENATE CANDIDATE EVERETT VALE NAMED IN CONNECTION WITH HARGREAVES PHARMACEUTICAL SUPPRESSION.WHO IS THE UNNAMED MINOR IN THE VALE FAMI
