Chapter 80 

I’m speechless as I stare at the dark space where she was just a minute ago. Then I blink, wondering if maybe I dreamt it all–it happened so fast 

But when I look down into my hand, the note is still there. 

Shit. Shit. What the hell was I going to do with this? 

It’s a little bomb, really- I know that. If Kent finds me with this 

note, I am done for, relationship with Daniel or no. 

But to whom, really, do I owe my allegiance? Should I give this

God damnit, I’m screwed either way. 

Swiftly, I peel open the note, hoping that its contents give me any hint about what I should do next. But it’s just two lines of cryptic poetry. 

The little wren sleeps, warm in its nest, 

The mink at its door doth it detest. 

What? I wrinkle my nose at the verse, written in Fiona’s hand. What the hell was this? 

It doesn’t even make any sense – nests don’t have doors – 

I grit my teeth and fold it up, trying to decide what to do. 

My eyes fall on my desk then, and I make a decision, then. 

Well, I make a decision that allows me to defer the real decision. I
