Chapter 334

Daniel does eventually agree to come with me and we end up having a really pleasant day. He was mad, at first, that I let the boyfriend issue slip with his dad – but he eventually admitted that I was right, that Kent’s not knowing at this point is a choice of ignorance. He also wasn’t kidding about not liking animals, shying away from Heathcliff even more than Ivan did. But I get Daniel in the saddle eventually, laughing as he bounces around on my poor horse’s back, completely uncoordinated.

I’m still shaking my head at him as he drives us home a few hours later. “Seriously, Daniel,” I say, leaning back in the passenger seat and studying him. “How do you stay so fit for someone who is about ten inches from falling out of the saddle?”

I look him up and down, remembering the pictures of young Kent that I saw yesterday and considering that that’s at least partially true. But I shake my head. Daniel isn’t nearly as muscled as Kent, but he’s not frail. “I don’t buy it,” I say as Daniel pulls through the gates and into our driveway. I narrow my eyes at him. “You work out secretly, I know it.”

“It’s not a secret, Fay,” he says, concentrating as he pulls the car into the garage and shuts it off. “I box.”
