Dustin nodded. “I know, that’s what Lincoln said. Then she told him you went shopping with Rose. Which, by the way, I texted Rose about, so she knows. He then asked where you were, Hunter, and your mom said you wanted to go somewhere private to get away from everything.”
I looked at Kipton. “Why do you think he wants to see us?”
“Maybe he wants to apologize for the stunt he pulled in Vegas, with the dress and all.”
Dustin grinned. “That was a hot dress.”
Kipton and I both glared at him. He cleared his throat and looked away.
“I don’t care that he’s looking for me or Kipton. It’s our day off,” I said, echoing Kipton.
Dustin nodded. “I don’t think it has anything to do with the two of you. When I was walking out with Jack, he told me about the little fight two of the girls got into in Vegas. They’re booting them off the show.”
Kipton gaped as I said, “What?”
He nodded. “Yeah. Rainey and Ansley. They were both told to pack their bags.”
“How strange that it’s those two…” Kipton mused as she crossed over to me.
“Why do you say that?” Dustin asked.
I looked at Kipton, and immediately knew what she was thinking. “They were both actresses.”
“What does that have to do with anything?” Dustin asked.
“I’m guessing they were hired by the show to be here. They have to have been.”
I nodded in agreement with Kipton. “They’re calling it a social experiment, but they needed to ensure some kind of drama. I mean, with Sarriah gone, the rest of the girls seemed to be getting along pretty great.”
“There wasn’t any conflict in the group from any recent house footage, or when they’ve done their one-on-ones,” Kipton stated. “And if Rainey and Ansley started a fight just a few weeks into shooting, it looks pretty suspicious since they’re both actresses. The audience has probably put two and two together.”
“So you think Jack was just coming to give you guys a heads-up?” Dustin asked.
I shrugged. “I don’t know.”
Kipton was chewing on her thumbnail, and I would have given anything to know what she was thinking. “Even if the two girls have been sent home, why wouldn’t Jack just wait until Monday to tell us in the morning meeting?”
“Maybe he just thought it was important to let us know sooner.”
She nodded. “Maybe…but in that case, why not call? Why go to your parents’ house?”
We stared at each other for a few moments. Dustin cleared his throat. “Uh…why are you two looking at each other like that?”
“He wants to talk to us about something else,” I said.
“And he doesn’t want anyone else—like Travis—to know.”
“All of this is stupid. Dude, is the money even worth it?” Dustin asked.
When my eyes met Kipton’s, I smiled. “It’s more than worth it.”
She blushed and looked away.
“Come on. We better get back before Jack realizes we’re together.”
Dustin pointed between us. “Are you two like…together together?”
I hit him on the side of the arm. “I don’t kiss and tell, Dustin.”
