It’s only ten so it’s not exactly late but I wonder where she is.

Is she with Jack?

Maybe at his place. In his bed?

Shit.There I go again. I need to stop that. I really do. If she’s with him she’s with him and I need to be okay with it.

I need to see it as none of my business and respect her privacy.

Of course, I can be there to beat the shit out of him if he hurts her but that’s it. I can act the way a big brother would.

Serves me right. Didn’t I tell her that I see her as a sister?

Absolute bullshit. It’s come back to bite me in the ass now.

I grab one of those Belgian cakes Olga gets from the market. Harper likes them, too. As there’s only one left I put it on a plate and take it to her room.

The door is ajar so I walk in and leave the cake next to her violin case. I move the stack of paperwork aside so nothing falls on the cake.

As I do something catches my eye in the drawer. It’s only slightly open but I can see a document inside with the Dark Odyssey logo on the header.

What in the hell is she doing with this?

The Dark Odyssey is a sex club.

That respect privacy line fades to nothing and I open the drawer and take out the… contract.

It’s a fucking contract. As in aworkcontract.

Harper has agreed to work there as a topless waitress for a minimum fee of five hundred dollars a night with tips.

And she starts tonight. At nine.

Fuck. No.

I kick the bin, sending it flying into the wall, then I’m walking, then I’m running to my car.

Jesus.When I first thought the woman was a trouble magnet I hadn’t seen anything yet.

This takes the fucking cake.

Topless waitress at the fucking Dark Odyssey.

Why?

Why would she need to do this?

One guess is that it’s Beth who got her that job. But why?

I just gave her a job.

Maybe I got this wrong and she would only have taken the job if she didn’t get the one from me.

Maybe sheiswith Jack and I’m losing my shit again.

You know what? I hope it’s the latter.

But I don’t think she’s with him. I think she’s at the club.
