TEXT CHAT

SAVANNAH

Me:You didn’t tell Eoghan about the hand?

Inessa:Of course I did. I just didn’t tell Victoria.

Me:Why didn’t you? She might want to know.

Inessa:Savannah, she isn’t you, lol. You might think a severed limb is a suitable courting gift, but I don’t.

Me:I’d feel safer knowing I had someone around who was willing to cut people up for me.

Inessa:Again, only you.

Me:Not only me. My sister’s just as bad, apparently.

Inessa:Apples don’t fall far from the tree.

Me:I know that Eoghan blasted your father’s kneecaps, Inessa. That had to make you feel better, knowing he’d take care of your boogeymen for you.

Inessa:It did help.

Me:Well, then?

Inessa:She’s still a child.

Me:Babe, I’m a LOT older than you. I say this with all the love in my goddamn heart, but to me, YOU are a kid. You’re closer to her age than I am, and I know for a fact that I wouldn’t want to be called a child at 16. So you definitely have to know that.

Me:Haven’t we learned this year that secrets get us nowhere?

Inessa:Dammit.

Me::P I can be logical sometimes, you know?

Inessa:I’m flipping you the bird. Just so you’re aware.

Me:Flip me a hundred of them if you want, lol.

Me:What was with the head shake at afternoon tea, then?

Inessa:I haven’t told Camille either.

Me:Ohhh. You going to rectify that too?

Inessa:Yes, Mom.

Me::P

Inessa:Eoghan was pissed about not being the one to deal with Stepanov Jr. So was Brennan. He came around to talk about the situation.

Me:Oh, to be a fly on the wall for that conversation, lol.

Me:Did neither of them think that talking about it with Victoria was a wise move?

Inessa:They’re trying to protect her.

Me:Protect her when she clearly spoke to Maxim about this situation and not them? Isn’t it obvious that keeping her in the dark does nothing apart from make her seek outside help?

Inessa:Shit.

Me:It sucks when I’m right, doesn’t it?

Inessa:*sighs*

Me:See you next Saturday?

Inessa:Yeah, yeah.
