"Wait, what did you say?" I ask Hudson now.

He hands me a cup of tea, but my hands are shaking as I take it, the cup rattling on the plate.

"I said, my father records every conversation that happens in his office," Hudson says casually, sitting down across from me.

I swallow. "So..."

"So he didn't ask you what Remington said for information."

"He asked to determine my loyalty?" I whisper.

Hudson focuses on me now. "Why do you look so scared?"

I swallow, glancing out the window. The sun is shining in little pieces through the grape leaves that wrap around the pergola, and I feel the warmth on my cheeks.

But inside, my stomach is in knots.

I turn back to Hudson, who is peering at me. I was so in love with him for the few months that we were dating. Or, at least, I thought I was. Maybe "obsessed" was a more appropriate term.

But now? After everything I've learned about his life-our life? It's all just...gone. All of those feelings have disappeared.

Instead, I view him now as my best friend, my ally.
