Keaton knows.

I

’ve been on edge all week waiting for Keaton to go off the rails and hunt Daniel down. I know he was furious when I told him about the messages and why that fucking box was in my closet, and it’s awful to think this, but my goodness was he hot as hell in that moment. Knowing he was mad for me. That he wanted to avenge me. That he would do anything for me. It got me all kinds of hot and bothered to see how much he genuinely cares. But now I need some advice, so I turn to the girls who help me through it all.

Jasmine

Oh good, Keaton knows. I’m so glad HE knows. Do you mind letting the rest of us know?

Skyla

Calm down, Jaz. Grab a Snickers. You sound hangry.

Penny

Everything okay over there, Jaz?

Jasmine

Ugh, sorry guys. It’s just that I’ve been dealing with this new client who is absolutely driving me insane. I didn't mean to take over your conversation with my problems, Anna.

Penny

But now you've got us all curious. What does Keaton know?

Anna

About Daniel. He found something that Daniel gave me and I told him everything.

Well, not everything. I haven’t told anybody about my last day in his office and that’s a memory I want to completely block out and forget it ever happened. Denial may be a river in Africa, but it’s also my current residence.

Jasmine

Wait, other than the creeps, what did Daniel give you?

Anna

Let's just say it was a goodbye "gift" I definitely didn't want.

Penny

Omg, how did Keaton take it?

Anna

He was livid.

Jasmine

What? Let me see the earliest flight I can get so I can come dickpunch that son of a bitch.

Penny

I cannot believe he got angry at you for what that creep was doing. Get me a ticket, too, Jaz. Sounds like I owe him a dickpunch, too.
