“Do I have to go to your place?”“I will try not to be offended by the implications of that statement.” Kali huffed, playfully tugging on June’s hair. “Youwillbe staying until you recover fully.”“My hand isn’t that bad. I can handle myself. I don’t want to intrude.”“If Samuel and I were newlywed and on ou
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 53: A RISING WARMTH
“How often do you come to these?” “At first, it felt like there was a party every day.” Kali joked as she adjusted the sling on June’s arm. “I wasn’t used to it, and it was mostly saying hello and making small talk, but now, I am more than used to it. I have had a good teacher. Ember walked me through how to make these gatherings easier on myself. Now, it barely registers.” “Maybe you’ll have to teach me,” June whispered, gazing over Kali’s bent head. “I have met six people at this thing and as soon as I mention your name, they are all ‘ohs’ and ‘ahs’. I think three of them have mentioned how grieved they were for missing your wedding. I don’t mind being amiable but I have smiled and laughed, but the conversations just keep coming.” Kali chuckled. “Rule one, don’t be alone. All the questions will fall on you, but if you have someone else, they can either answer on your behalf or shift the conversation to themselves. Stick close to me.” “Say no more.” June flippantly pressed hersel
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 54: AN ATTRACTION MOST FATAL
Samuel sat on one of the sofas in the VIP section of the hall. Most of his family were out socializing, and he had taken the time to sit by himself, nursing a cup of whiskey. Ember had whisked Kali and June off to meet some friends who were in attendance. Samuel appreciated having the space to himself. He needed time to dig his mind out of the pit it was throwing itself down."You are sulking again." Kali appeared, taking a seat, apparently done with the introductions.Samuel shook his head. "Just enjoying the party."
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 55: A PILLAR OF DOUBT
Kali laughed as Ember continued panther on about her attractive former teaching assistant. Samuel had gone off somewhere, and Ember took her from one group to another, making introductions and catching up with old friends. Kali had only stepped away for ten minutes to get something to drink when Ember joined her, agitated and fiery by the bar. She spent the next five minutes ranting about her college professor."Teaching assistant." Ember corrected. "He was a teaching assistant."“Fine. Did you guys get off on the wrong foot when you met in Germany?”
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 56: SOMETHING NEEDS MENDING
Samuel went out for his run before Kali woke up. His lungs burned as his feet pumped, pushing him forward faster and faster. The morning air nipped at his exposed skin, cooling the beads of sweat that formed on his face and neck. His breath came by harder and harder as he ran under the dark sky, the yellowish glow of the streetlight brightening his path.After an hour and a half of running, he stumbled to a stop, bracing his hands against his knee to catch his breath. Running had always been a means of escape. Kali liked to gouge herself on treats, and he enjoyed running.Dawn was breaking over the buildings, and colours blended into the dim sky, chasing away the darkness. Tired, Samuel sat on one of the park benches, looking at the sidewalk as other joggers walked by. On the other side of the street stood a tall hotel. Its flashing lights showcased the name with each blink.The first and last time he stepped foot in that hotel was when he was sixteen years old.
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 57: A GROWING TENSION
Kali returned home that night and only had enough energy to walk up her stairs and drag herself to the nearest couch. Work wasn't as hard as the first day she went, but she was still in her transitional period. She was not only working full-time at the office, but she also tried to maintain her previous clients. It was proving difficult, but she was determined to find a balance.When hunger broke through her exhaustion, she strolled languidly to the kitchen and went straight for the fridge. The first thing that caught her eyes was a large sheet of paper plastered on the body of the fridge with a note written by her sister.

"Here's to another one of us bitting the dust." Holland raised his glass, and all the other men followed.With his glass high, Samuel slapped his recently engaged friend on the shoulder, shaking him hard. "Congratulations, man.""To Reggie and Victoria!" Holland bellowed."To Reggie and Victoria." The guys chorused.Their glasses cl
DANGEROUS GAMES CHAPTER 59: THE START OF SOMETHING DANGEROUS
Kali sat in the middle of her bed, trying to lose herself in the videos she streamed, but her mind was pressed to go back to the night before. Samuel confessing that he was attracted to her had been an interesting surprise, to say the least. As someone who had been attracted to him for months, she couldn’t see the big deal in him finding her attractive as well. Except, at first, she believed he was mortified at the idea of being drawn to her.“Wait. Wait. Wait.” She had held her hand out in front of her, her mind running to process the three simple words he had said. “You like me.”“
