“Well, let’s just say, if that video makes the internet, then at least I won’t have to worry about our parents seeing my white ass all over their screen like when your sex tape with Felisha got leaked.” And this brings a roar of laughter into the room.

We continue to talk about what happened and where to go from here with security and telling Harper. And although I thought it would be hard to get on to the same time zone again, I start yawning sitting here talking. But there is something I’m desperate to know from Flynn. So, when everyone sees I need sleep and they stand to leave, I reach out and grab Flynn’s arm and ask him to stay back for a minute.

After saying my goodbyes to Rem and Nic, I turn back to Flynn, and he has the stupid smirk on his face like knows what is about to happen.

“Don’t be a bastard and leave me hanging. Is she okay, has she asked about me, did she suspect anything was going on, how is she sleeping?” The words start spilling out of me in my desperation to know about Harper.

“Whoa there, one thing at a time. Firstly, she’s alright and as to be expected after a breakup. She has her moments where she is quiet and wants to be on her own, but she has thrown herself into work and we have hardly seen her. She has no idea that you left the country, although thanks for making that an awkward thing for me. I didn’t want to lie to her, but I also didn’t want to get the blame for telling her accidentally. You owe me for that one.” He points at me to reinforce his point, and I’m sure I will be paying for that favor for a long time yet.

“And who said you were hopeless with secrets?” I reply, and Flynn just smiles as he gives me the middle finger.

“Harper and I made a deal on the first day that we wouldn’t talk about you, so it didn’t make things awkward, and she lasted three days, so I’d say that was pretty impressive.” He has no idea what relief that brings me.

“Oh, she’s stubborn, so I’m actually surprised she gave in that quickly, but I can’t say I’m disappointed.” I laugh at how it must have killed her to come to Flynn and ask. She would have been kicking herself over it.

“But man, you warned me, but I had no idea what that woman goes through on a nightly basis with her nightmares. It almost ripped my heart out and she is just a friend.” The look on his face tells me what I wanted to know. They are still happening, and she is struggling.
