Secrets part 1 Peter Hale
Pairing former Theo x reader end Peter x reader
Warning cheating, swearing,
Description reader catches Theo with Tracy, Peter finds her offering a shoulder to cry on but how will Theo take it
You walked down the dark, damp and dirty tunnels of the dread doctors’ former lab. You hated it here and constantly question why Theo still stayed down here when you both shared a home. You hard a laugh as you got deeper into the tunnel. Rolling your eyes you knew that voice, Tracy Stewart. One of Theo’s Chimera’s and one you hated most. She’s always flirting with him in front of you, hang on his every word, try to be the best little soldier she could for him.
You took a breath before opening the door ready to deal with her antics. As you opened the door you the sight made you freeze in place. Theo was sat on an old hospital gurney that had been left behind. Tracey naked over his lap laughing and moaning as Theo kissed down her neck to her boobs.
You didn’t move, frozen until the sound of your handbag hitting the floor, it was at the same sound Theo literally threw Tracy off him. She hit the ground hard about to moan at him for hurting her. He didn’t care, he watched you run back down the hall, shouting your name over and over.
With his heightened speed he could have easily caught up to you but when he seen you reach the door/hatch to get in and out, he stopped letting you run. Punching the wall he knew he’d screwed up. He hoped you’d run, cry and come back so he could apologise. Walking back to the room me smirked seeing the bag, you had to come back for. He looked at Tracy who was stood unsure what to do or say. Theo growled at her to get dressed and leave.
You ran for as long as you could once you stopped the tears ran down your face. You couldn’t believe he’d do that to you, after everything you’d given up to be with him like your friends, a home. You were more hurt it was with Tracey too, he knew your feelings about her and her flirting. No matter how much you told him she’s flirting he’d laugh and say there was nothing to worry about he only had eyes for you. That thought had you guessing how long had it been going on for, had they been sleeping with each other for the past 2 months.
You felt a buzz in your pocket. Looking at your phone it was Theo, you mute the call once the ringtone starts letting it continue to silently ring out. You didn’t want to hear his excuses, all you wanted to do was get in your car and drive as far away as possible, “fuck” you shout, your bag was still in the tunnels. You hadn’t picked it up when you ran. It had your car keys, credit cards, everything in. You wasn’t going back not yet at least. Fishing in your pocket you pull out some cash, wasn’t a lot but enough to get a drink and get out the cold.
You looked up at the bar, it looked a bit more expensive than your usual places but right now you didn’t care.
Inside it looked as fancy as the sign did. Theo would never take you somewhere like this, maybe that was a good thing you wouldn’t run into him here.
Ordering a drink you staying sat at the bar. You thought about where can you go after here, the bar wasn’t gonna stay open all night. You wanted to call Scott, Lydia even Stiles, who now seen you as sleeping with the enemy. But it was true you did choose Theo over them once and now regret not listening when they told you he was bad news or was using you to get to Scott and the pack.
“hello sweetheart” a smooth voice said behind but kind of to your left. You turned seeing Peter Hale next to, gesturing the barman over so he can order a drink. It wasn’t you didn’t like Peter, you just didn’t want to face anyone right now with the way you were feeling.
“Oh god, what are you doing here Peter, I thought you’d gone away?” you asked him with an eye roll. the last time you’d seen him was Mexico.
“After our last little group encounter I had a little business to attend to but I’m back and better than ever” he said then turned to the barman to order his drink. Something about being better than ever sounded strange and definitely not good but you didn’t care right now what plans he had, more about what plans you needed to make for the night.
Peter looked you up and down, you would of missed it if you wasn’t watching him out the corner of your eye. “what’s new with you? Never seen you in here before” he asked.
You sigh “nothing came for a quiet drink”. It was a lie and you knew he’d know you were lying too but right now you hoped he’d take the hint you didn’t wanna talk about it. Fat chance with the way he looked at you.
He chuckled “oh please something wrong, your here drinking a double of whatever the hell that is. Reeking of anger, and sadness” he said back, cocky. His flashes of micro smiles and smirks showed he loved being right and was proving it.
“fucking werewolves” you mutter annoyed with his attitude, just like Theo always thought they were better and smarter. Just because they had powers.
“what about werewolves” he challenged, not a threat but smugly ‘go on finish’
Turning in your seat to look him in the eyes “I said fucking werewolves, with your heightened senses, using your weird smell detector”. You scream at him.
He laughed almost spitting out his drink, “our what?” he asked finding it amusing. “smell detector” he repeated still with a laugh.
You knew it sounded stupid but it was the only thing you could think to call it “you know the way you sniff out emotions, always listening for a lie” you explain.
He leaned his head in closer “hmm do you want to lie to me, y/n” his tone, teasing and suggestive. You couldn’t lie, Peter was attractive. He’s older, dangerous and certainly someone who’d peeked your interest in the past but after Theo came to town you’d not paid much attention to the older wolf.
“nope not lie but can’t a girl have her secrets too”. You smirk back finishing the last of your drink. It wasn’t like splitting with Theo was a secret but you didn’t want to talk about it too.
“now that sounds like a challenge” his micro-expressions that smile/snarl. Lifting his upper lip showing of his teeth. The action was him all over and would normally send your heart racing. “why don’t you let me buy you another drink see if I can find out some of your secrets”
What was the harm? Wasn’t like you had anywhere or anyone to go to. Plus a bit of company was better than sulking on your own. You agreed, getting out your seat Peter asked the barman for another round to be brought over. Then led you to a table in the back corner. The barman was less than a minute behind you with a tray, he placed your drinks down telling Peter if he needed anything to signal him, before leaving you and Peter to your night.
You wasn’t sure what to say to him so picked your drink up and said thanks. Peter smirked copying picking up his glass “here’s to secrets. Keeping, making and telling” he joked tilting his glass forward in toast.
You giggled, mimicking his tilt before having a sip. “what about you Hale, wanna share any of your secrets” you ask, yes it was deflecting but you had to say something to change the subject from you.
“why, what do you wanna know sweetheart?” he asked, you wasn’t sure if it was just naturally the way he spoke or your imagination but his voice was like velvet, smooth, deep and very seductive.
You didn’t know how to answer, you wasn’t expecting a counter question. “anything! Your a man full of them, enough to fill a book or ten. Telling me one won’t hurt” you giggle. The alcohol giving you an added push to be a little flirty with him or maybe the need to get some confidence back after Theo’s betrayal. Maybe you just wanted to betray him back even if it was in the way of shameless flirting only, it felt good.
Peter’s voice dragged you from your mental questions. “well sweetheart if your lucky ill show you one of them later” he said, it sounded like a thrilling and dangerous promise. “that’s only if your a good girl” he added now thrilling sounded dirty and still dangerous as hell.
“I can be good, bad and everything in between” you sass back biting your lower lip, knowing he can probably hear your heart beat race at his words.
He had judging by the smug one sided smirk he had. He leaned in closer “does your chimera boy toy know your her being a naughty girl flirting with the enemy” he asked. He moves back when he seen your shoulders tense and face change. He was probably notice scent changes too.
You sigh “first, I wouldn’t call you the enemy, not anymore, and second” you paused looking down at your glass, swilling the liquid around inside. “my big ‘secret’ that the whole of Beacon Hills will know about by tomorrow is, we’re over, Theo cheated on me with that slag Tracy I walked in on them” you say a mix of pain and hate as you spoke
Peter gave a small chuckle “of cause he did” he said taking another sip of his drink, like he hadn’t just offended you. “it was only a matter of time” he added after swallowing his bourbon.
You sat there open-mouthed in shock, dumbfounded by his words. Was Tracy really better than you? Was it obvious to everyone but you their affair? “ex...excuse me” was all you managed to stutter out.
He noticed he offended you, reaching out his hand to touch your arm. You went to pull it away but he was too fast holding you in place. “it’s nothing against you y/n, It’s Theo, his cheating was inevitable and predictable, he’s the type who’s never happy with what he’s got. He wants power and got it but wants more. Your amazing and he’ll soon be crawling back when he figures out he’s lost someone as incredible as you.” He said in a soft sweet tone different from the flirty one he’d been using all night.
You blushed and said thank you for the compliment, heck if anything your ego needed it. You didn’t know what to say next, you head was all over the place and Peter wasn’t helping. When you didn’t speak he removes his hand watching you trying to work out what you were thinking.
Peter finished his drink and waving to the barman for another round. “To be honest I’m not sure what the hell you saw in him anyway.” Peter said making you look up.
You gave a small nervous chuckle thinking about it now you wonder the same. What did you see in Theo. First his looks, the guy looked like a fashion model, those green eyes, his dirty blonde hair and body that looked like it was chiselled out of stone. At first he was different, sweet caring made you feel like a princess. But after some time he’s attention and affection dimed he was always with his new pack or plotting new plans to hurt, maim and kill. “maybe I just have a thing for bad guys” you mumble not meaning it to come out aloud.
The waiter placed your drink in front of you dragging you out of your thoughts. “my good friend here has had a bad day. Can we also get a refill and a round of shots too” Peter asked him.
“Certainly Mr. Hale I will be one minute with them” the waiter answered walking away to get the shots.
You smirk at Peter “trying to get me drunk are we?” you joked. Not like you didn’t like that idea.
“no, just helping you forget your pain sweetheart” he smiled back again this was different. There was no flirting, no sarcasm, no underling motives behind it.
The waiter came back placing two shot glasses down filling them both taking a bottle of bourbon and refilled Peter’s and pour you one with a new glass. “is this all you want or would like me to leave the bottle Mr. Hale?” he asked. Something about the way he spoke to Peter gave you the feeling he was a regular here and wasn’t the first time Peter had asked for the full bottle.
“well here to forgetting” you say clinking your glass with his before drinking the shot in one. Peter mirrored your movement before refilling the glasses.
The bottles started to go down but your spirit and feelings rose. Peter hadn’t asked anything else about Theo. For the rest of the night you both sat laughing and talking reminiscing about the past “you still owe me for that night Hale, I have a gunshot scar because of you” you joked when Peter brought up past antics. He reached over the table his thumb lightly brush over your knuckles
“your the one who pushed me out the way sweetheart. I didn’t ask you to but I’m grateful you did” he sassed back. A few years ago before Theo even showed up in beacon hills you had been with Peter when hunters showed up. The bullet aimed for Peter was full of wolfsbane and wold have killed him. You pushed him taking the bullet to the shoulder, it was through and though not enough to kill you but you always enjoyed reminding him of it.
You look down at hand lifting your a little, so he can slide his fingers under your palm keeping his thumb where it was. You welcome his touch seeking comfort in it, trying to ignore the voice in the back of your head telling you to stop and move your hand.
“I thought Stiles was going to rip your head off that day” you say back hoping to keep the conversation neutral.
Peter laughed “do you really think he could” he said it was true stiles was angry and Scott holding him back wasn’t to protect Peter but to protect stiles. Thinking back Peter had kept his distance after that you was going to question why but the sound of last orders bell stopped you.
You didn’t realises how much time you sat there for. Both you and Peter finish the last of your drinks and walk out together. He went in the direction of his car, you paused thinking where you was gonna go. You forgot about finding someone to crash with. You certainly wasn’t going back to Theo, or your car outside his hideout.
“y/n, where you staying tonight” he asked. You looked up at him with a blank expression it’s like he read your mind. “I’m guessing you not going home with Theo being there, have you got somewhere to go?”
Shaking your head no, “I guess a park bench can’t be too bad, plus I’ll get my keys and car at first light when he goes on his run” you try to sound as unfazed as possible, Kinda like the whole idea of it didn’t scare the hell out of you.
Peter gave a growl “you won’t do any such thing” he said. “you can use my guest room” this wasn’t an offer more of an order like he wasn’t gonna let you stay anywhere else.
You smile at him “are you sure?” you ask. Peter didn’t answer he just opened the passenger side door for you to get in. “Thank you” you say getting in the car thankful you wasn’t sleeping outdoors.
His penthouse was exactly how you imagined it, stylish, sophisticated and very expensive. His furniture was Italian, but it was expected he wouldn’t have anything else. The whole room was open-plan a large dining island separated the two rooms. You took a few steps to the floor to ceiling windows looking out at the town. You’d never seen it from this angle before and hadn’t noticed how beautiful your small little town looked surrounded by trees.
Peter came up behind two drinks in his hand, you hadn’t even noticed him pour. You smile taking the drink looking back outside “beautiful view” he said. You nod back not noticing Peter wasn’t talking about the town from this height. He gave a small chuckle at your obliviousness before inviting you to sit.
Peter turned on a radio as you sat down, taking a sip of the drink Peter had gave you, whisky and by the taste a good one. “you really trying to get me drunk” you laugh knowing your head is going to be killing tomorrow after mixing drinks.
“I’m impressed with your tolerance, after tonight I’m surprised your still walking” he joked. He had a point, you’d never drink this much before but wasn’t going to question it.
“I can more than walk Hale” you sass standing up, placing your drink on the table walking over to him. You were thankful you managed to do it in a straight line. Once your in front of him you place your hands on his chest and sway a little “I can dance too, or are you one these I don’t dance kind of guys” you laugh looking up at him.
Peter gave a twisted smile grabbing one of your hands . He spun you around catching your hip as you come to face him again, dipping you back. You were surprised by the action, nearly falling over your own feet. If Peter hadn’t had a hold of you you’d probably of fallen.
“oh I know how dance sweetheart, I’m just not sure you can keep up” he teases. He lifts up back up but didn’t move, one hand on the lower part of your back other holding your wrist.
Your felt your heart racing like crazy, your legs shake, although part of that could of been the alcohol. You put your hands on his chest in a way to stop yourself from leaning in to kiss him. You didn’t know where it came from or why you remembered it, looking up at him said “I’ve been a good girl and you know my secret are you gonna show me yours?”
Peter pulled you flush to him inches away from your face “if I show you, you have to promise me you won’t go blabbing to Scott or any of then sweetheart” he said. You nodded yes, knowing you’d keep his promise. It wasn’t like you’d spoken to any of Scott’s pack in months.
He closed his eyes tilting his neck, when he opens them your met with bright red alpha eyes. It took a few seconds for you to realise what he was showing you. Peter had been an alpha before but lost the power when he died. After coming back to life Peter had been left with big blue beta eyes. “your an alpha?” it was a rhetorical question.
Peter smiled “red really is my colour, don’t you think sweetheart”. You couldn’t have agreed more. He was always sexy but now he oozed it. From the way he looked and was looking at you to the feel of his hands around you, the smell of bourbon on his breath mixed with his aftershave, made you lose all grips with your thoughts.
You lean up on your toes to kiss Peter. To your amazement he kisses you back, he was hungry and strong but gentleness too. Too caught up in the haze of the kiss, you didn’t notice your feet moving as Peter leads you over to the couch.
He broke the kiss to sit down and pulls you onto his lap. His lips reconnect with yours, your arms move around his neck, playing and pulling his hair. Humming into his lips when he squeezes your ass.
Peter loved every second but the voice of reason in the back of his mind started to take over. He knew you were drunk, hurting after Theo. It would be taking advantage of you if he continues. But damn did he want too, he’d always had an eye for her back then, had imagined this moment before, just not quite like this. He wanted her to want him, not just as a drunken one night rebound.
He stopped kissing you, resting his forehead on yours. Already regretting what he was about to do. “we shouldn’t do this” he said not moving his head or hands. “not like this”
You looked at him confused, trying to ignore the feeling of rejection creeping up in you. “why?” you ask nervous.
Peter instantly noticed how you tensed up, the sweet smile replaced by a worried frown. He sighs “because your not thinking straight, your drunk and still upset and angry at Theo. I don’t want you waking up tomorrow regretting this y/n.” He said softly.
You look him in the eyes “I won’t, so what if I’m a bit drunk I want this, Peter”. A small groan comes from his chest, it wasn’t often you called him Peter, back when you were team McCall you’d call him, Hale. It was your way of trying not to be to close to the past bad boy. “tell me you don’t want this too?” you ask.
“oh sweetheart, I want this more than you know but I’m not about to take advantage of you” he says, still keeping you close, letting his lips hover over yours as he spoke.
You knew he was right you would probably wake up tomorrow thinking was this a mistake but right now you didn’t care, Peter was a mistake you wanted to make over and over. “but your not I said I’m consenting”
You felt his nose bump against yours, “how about a compromise? If you still want this, me tomorrow when your sober than I’ll happy take you to bed. If you don’t then we can forget this ever happened.” He offered, hoping to show he was trying to be selfless and the good guy.
Peter kissed the top of your head when you say yes to his offer, then pulls you into a hug. It wasn’t long before you’d fallen asleep like that. Peter picked you up carrying you to his guest room.
You woke the next morning in a strange room, looking around trying to remember the night before. You groan remembering Theo, Tracey, Peter. You got up know knowing were you where, your head throbbed worse than it ever had before. Your mouth felt dryer than a desert, you was gonna head down for a drink.
You heard a clink outside the room, a tell tale sign Peter was up. You knew you’d have to face him sooner or later, you take a deep breath before opening the door.
You walk or drag with the way you felt, down the stairs. Peter was stood in the kitchen, his back turned to you cooking something that smelt delicious. “good morning sweetheart or should I say afternoon” he joked, as he grabbed a cup. “coffee?” he offered.
You all but snatched the cup from his hands, thankful for the drink. He flashes you a smile watching you take a big drink not caring of its hot or not. He turned back to his sizzling pan, you watch him trying to ignore the sick feeling in your stomach.
It wasn’t long before Peter placed a fry up in front of you offering you a fresh drink. The food was delicious and you both eat in a comfortable silence. When you were finished Peter have you some of his clothes and pointed you in the direction of his shower.
He watches as you head uo the stairs hearing the water turn on. He was a bit gutted you hadn’t mentioned the kiss and he promised if you didn’t he wouldn’t. He promised himself he wouldn’t be selfish. He cleaned the dishes while he waited for you to finish up in the bathroom. Unsure what to do or say when you came back down. All he could think about was you sat on his lap kissing him. It didn’t help when he seen you walk back down wearing his clothes.
“how you feeling today?” he asked
“like I’ve been hit by a steam train or ten” you joke, although it wasn’t completely a lie. He handed you a glass of water and some painkillers. You took them leaving the glass on the table, following him over to the sofa.
For the first time the silence was uneasy. You didn’t know what to say but your head hurt to much to think. Peter was the same, every conversation starter sounded stupid in his head. He was gonna ask about Theo but didn’t wanna upset you, he wanna ask if you had decided what you were gonna go but didn’t want to look like he was forcing you out.
You spoke first “thanks for letting me stay last night” you meant it. He’d saved you a night if sleeping, rough, distracted you from your pain and also respectfully turned you down.
“It’s nothing, plus I still owe you remember” he said stretching his arm along the back of the couch, his fingertips tracing the part of your scar on show. “my guest room is yours if you still need tonight or more too” he offered.
You smiled your head wasn’t in any frame of mind to be dealing with Theo today. You took Peter up on his offer again, you spent the rest of the day hungover on Peters couch using his arm or lap as a pillow. He ordered you both take out and watched films all day enjoying the comfort he gave.
Monday morning you woke headache and hangover free. Groaning knowing you would have to leave calming bubble of Peters penthouse. He washed your clothes for you making a joke how he would love to see everyone’s face you turning up to school in Peters oversized clothes.
Peter drove you to school letting you get out around the block to avoid questions from Scott’s pack. Peter still not trusted by them. You walk down the corridor seeing Haydon, you rolled your eyes hoping to get five minutes before having to deal with pack members, Theo’s or Scott’s.
“what’s up Hayden I’m late, coach will rip me a new of if I’m late again” you say hoping your job as coach’s assistant would let you escape.
“nothing just haven’t seen you this weekend” she smiles, you believe her smile she wasn’t just looking for gossip or if she even knew what had happened.
You give her a half smile “I’m okay I guess” you say trying to deflect a bit. “but I really do need to set up the gym, you can come help if you don’t have class” you offer.
She followed you to coaches office as you grabbed equipment. Hayden took some off you offering to carry some “I’m sure coach thinks I’m strong like the rest of you supernatural students” you laugh.
“so what’s new with you” you asked as you set out equipment for your first lesson of the day. She starts talking about Liam, a new werewolf Scott bite. It was obvious she liked him, even if she’d just spent the last 20 minutes telling you how annoying he is.
You both walked into the locker room, Theo and Cory were there. You huff loud looking your ex in the eye. “y/n” he smiled although it was a small one lined with guilt. You ignore him about to walk away “ y/n come on wait, I’ve missed you, can we talk about this please” he said reaching out to hold your hand.
You snatch your hand back, not wanting him to touch you “you didn’t miss me when you were shagging Tracey and what is there to talk about Theo, its over” you say trying your hardest to keep in your tears but it didn’t stop your voice cracking.
The shocked gasps from Hayden and Cory reminds both you and Theo they were still in the room. Theo ordered them both out, Cory looked happy to escape their foreseeable argument, Hayden however pulled a face about being told to leave. You also knew it would take the pair of them minutes to share their new found gossip.
Your attention quickly turned back to Theo. Folding your arms leaning your body weight to one side, giving your best pissed off bitch pose. Theo didn’t say anything he just looked at you his eyes filling up. You’d never seen him like this, he looked vulnerable.
“what do you want Theo” you ask low trying not to look at him, you’d never seen Theo cry before and it was already breaking your heart, making you want to hold and hug him. You tried keeping think of him n Tracy to stay mad at him.
“I’m sorry” he finally said looking you in the eyes, his hands came over holding your arms forcing you to look at him. “I wish I could take it back, y/n I’m sorry I love you” he added. “I was only using Tracy to heal, I promise I’ll make this up to you. Please don’t leave me”
You didn’t know what to say or how to feel. You felt sick, he’d broken your heart, cheated with the one girl you hated. Now he was declaring his love, it wasn’t like he’d never said I love you before but the way he said had you thinking maybe be meant it.
You close your eyes trying to clear your mind enough to think. The image of Peter came to you, the way he held you, kissed you. The sickly feelings grew worse. “y/n say something” Theo said pulling you out of your thoughts.
You sigh “I don’t know what to say, you broke my heart, cheated on me I need time to think” you answer honestly, trying to give a smile.
Theo wipes the one or two stray tears from his eyes, part of you asking had he genuinely been crying or acting but you doubts are forgotten when the door opened and a group of younger students start to pile in.
You walk out the changing room Theo quick behind you. “oh y/n, I brought your bag, you, er you left it the other day” he said nervous about reminding you why you left it.
You follow him to his locker getting you bag checking for your keys. You thanked Theo, it felt strange to thank him and hate him. You watched as Theo headed to class, you went to assist in your lesson. All lesson all you could think was had Theo meant it when he said he loved you, were you acting to rash saying its over.
You had managed to avoid everyone for the next few hours, focusing on work. During lunch you found Theo outside coaches office waiting for you. He watched you dragging a heavy bad of balls and cones while carrying a load of lacrosse sticks under your arm.
He stood leaning against the door frame, watching as you finally dumped them down on the office floor. “can we finish our talk” he says, his tone sounds dark.
“I think we said it all before Theo, you’ve said sorry and I need time to think, what else is there to say” you tell him plainly before walking away.
Theo follows you. You turn to see him, feeling like pray being stalked and not in a good way. “well I still have some questions and things I want to say” he said now only a step or two behind you. Stopping to look at him you rise your eyebrows waiting for him to carry on.
“my first question is, where have you been all weekend and when are you coming home?”
You couldn’t believe your ears, how dare he question you after what he did. “Look, about coming home I told you I need time to think. I’m gonna get some of my stuff later Theo and I don’t know when or if I’ll be back and you have no right to question where I’ve been or where I’m going for that matter” you tell him, unaware you now have an audience.
Theo grabbed you pushing you up against the wall, a loud growl coming from his chest as he did. “I have every right, I’m still your boyfriend. Yes I screwed up once but that doesn’t mean you can just leave me, not tell me where you’ve been, then come in smelling like another and when I ask you don’t answer. You have to come home” he roared.
Scott and Liam ran over about to pull Theo off you, before they could you punched Theo as hard as you could. Something you regret as Theo is built like a brick wall his jaw wasn’t any different, part of you swore you’d broken something. “your right you screwed up by screwing Tracy like I said Theo were over so you don’t call yourself my boyfriend or tell me what to do!” you yell back.
Theo raised his arm to hit you but this time Scott and Liam dragged him away before he could touch you. Theo tried pulling himself out of their grip yelling nonsense at you like you’ll regret leaving him. Lydia, Malia and Stiles came over to you all asking if you were okay at the same time.
You say yes even though you were anything but okay, you’d never seen Theo’s anger directed at you before and he’d never raised his hand to you. But you needed to try and stay professional somehow, you hadn’t had this job long and didn’t want to lose it. Also your hand had started swelling and already bruising.
Lydia looks at your hand telling you to go the nurse’s office. You agree about to head off. Lydia goes with you as stiles and Malia go to find Scott. The nurse confirms your suspensions, your hand was fractured. As you wait Lydia asks what’s been going on. You tell her about Theo and Tracy but carful not to mention Peter. You hated the look of pity in her eyes but glad she wasn’t saying I told you so. “what are you gonna do now?” she asked
