It’s almost dark that evening when I pull up to the gates to Kent’s estate. I spent the day with Janeen, planning my next steps, letting the sound of her laugher and warm advice wash over me like a healing balm. I also let her curl my hair into sexy waves and exchange my slouchy sweater and leggings for a pair of tight jeans and a turtleneck, all black. She spent some time doing my makeup too, transforming me into the smokey–eyed femme fatale I felt I needed to be to take this next step.

The gates slide open without hesitation and I pull the car through.

I take a moment to steel myself and then step out, looking towards the guard I know will be standing by the door at
