Henson nodded. “I know.”
He then looked at Xavier. “Gonzalez, follow me.”
Xavier gave a slight nod, said goodbye to Janice, and walked with Henson toward his room.
Norah was about to follow when Janice suddenly grabbed her wrist. “Where are you going? | just saw Adrian Chambers arrive. Go

“He's a guest today,” Janice insisted.
“What if he is? It's not my job to entertain the guests!” Norah huffed. “I had a little wine earlier, I'm feeling a bit dizzy.”
“Don’t make excuses. | know you're just looking for trouble with Henson!” Janice said, pulling her downstairs without another word.
Norah glanced back but didn’t dare make a scene about going to find Xavier, afraid Janice would suspect something. She had no

“Don’t mention it!” Henson grinned, his voice a bit low as it was changing. “But you'll have to stay in my room for a while, so my

Xavier said, “I don’t want to hold you up.”
“I've got nothing to do. | finished my homework, and | don’t have school tomorrow.” Henson grabbed his phone and walked toward
the balcony, looking back at Xavier. “Wanna play a game? I'll invite Estelle, we can play a few rounds.”
Xavier followed him, a faint smile on his lips. “Does she have tfor games right now?”
