—— WHISKEY EMERGED FROM HER ROOM into the sunlight, bathing suit on and ready to test out. She looked around for a second before frowning down at the necklace hanging from her neck, a conflict in her head telling her to take it off, but on the other hand it was probably gonna help her in the long term. She decided on keeping it as it was, brushing a hand through her hair to blow away the stress, and picking up a bottle of some kombucha that had been left in her and Duke’s room.

Walking down the path, she realized that she had no idea where the pool actually was, and it wasn’t like she could go ask anyway since she didn’t know where anybody was either. She thought about knocking on Iris’ door again, but the conversation from earlier haunted her. It had ended well from what she could tell, but Iris was pretty good at covering up. What Whiskey had said during that conversation, she couldn’t say she had told the complete truth, but she had a plan. She would stay with Duke, keep up her reputation, help him out by entertaining Miles as much as she wished she didn’t have to and then her career would be set.

If she continued down the path with Iris, her life would blow up. So maybe she was happy about the way the conversation had gone earlier.

Knocking her out of her thoughts, a figure appeared from between the bushes up ahead. She was so startled, she stopped on the path, biting down on her lip. Andi was right in front of her, and she didn’t exactly know what to say, especially with how everything had gone down in the trial.
