Chapter 102 Brooklyn

"Come on," I say. I pull Hudson's sleeve and tug him towards the back garden. "Let's talk somewhere quiet."

Hudson follows me out the back door, looking behind us to see if anyone's followed before pulling the door shut.

I sit down at the little table and wait for him to join me, my mind spinning as I try to decide what to say and how to say it.

"So?" Hudson asks, sitting tense in the chair beside me.

"Um..." I look down into my coffee. "Your dad knows that you had a... 'midnight visitor.' And you...well, that you weren't playing Scrabble with them."

Hudson's face is grave, and he curses under his breath as he quickly sorts through the consequences of this development.

"But he doesn't know who." It's more of an urgent statement than a question.

"No," I murmur, watching him closely.

Slowly, Hudson turns his head and looks back at me. "But you do."

I bite my lip.

"Damn it," Hudson curses, exhaling a large breath and looking up at the sky.

I watch the variety of emotions cross his face-worry, fear, frustration, exhaustion-as he figures out what he wants to do next.

When he turns his face back to mine, I'm surprised to see that anger has won out.

"You know you can't tell anyone, right, Brooklyn?" he demands. "That you will ruin my life if you do?"
