Jade nearly chokes on her pasta. “What? Declan? You and Declan?”

I nod, trying to keep my voice low. “Yeah. In the locker room. It was...intense.”

Jade’s eyes are practically sparkling. “Girl, that’s insane. Tell me everything!”

I take another sip of wine, trying to find the right words. “It was rough and desperate, but it felt...so right in the moment. I didn’t even think about it. I just acted on impulse.”

Jade is practically vibrating with excitement. “You go, girl! Get it while you can! But seriously, are you going to tell Chase?”

I frown, stirring my pasta absentmindedly. “I’m not sure. We had a conversation about being open and honest. But now I’m second-guessing myself.”

Jade looks at me with a serious expression. “Millie, you have to tell him. It wouldn’t be fair to lie or hide stuff like this. You know how it is.”

I nod, feeling the weight of her words. “You’re right. I need to be honest with him.”

“Where’s Peanut?” Jade asks suddenly, changing the subject.

“He’s at Chase’s clinic. I dropped him off earlier today.”

Jade reaches across the table, giving my hand a reassuring squeeze. “Good luck, Millie. I hope everything works out. Just remember, honesty is the best policy.”

I smile at her, grateful for her support. “Thanks. I’ll keep you updated.”

After dinner, I say goodbye to Jade and head to Chase’s clinic. The streets are quiet and I feel the cool evening air on my face asI walk. My mind races with thoughts of the conversation I need to have with Chase.

When I finally arrive at the clinic, I take a deep breath and walk inside, hoping I can find the right words to explain everything.

The moment I walk into the clinic, I see Victoria is at the front desk, busy with some paperwork. She glances up and smiles. “Hey, Millie! Chase is in the back with Peanut.”

“Thanks, Victoria,” I say, heading toward the back of the clinic.

As I push open the door to the back room, I see Chase on the floor with Peanut, scratching him behind the ears. Peanut’s tail wags furiously and he’s clearly enjoying the attention.

Chase looks up and smiles at me. “Hey, how did the interviews go?”

I try to muster a smile, but it fades quickly as I see the concern in Chase’s eyes. “Actually, I’m not sure what to tell you.”

He frowns, his hand stilling on Peanut’s belly. “What’s wrong? Talk to me, baby.”

I take a deep breath, my heart racing. “It’s about Declan. We...we had sex.”

“When? Where?”

“In the locker room.”

Chase runs a hand through his hair, his face shifting from confusion to something more serious. “Okay…okay. At least you told me.”

I look at him, feeling a lump in my throat. “Are you mad?”

He shakes his head slowly, his expression thoughtful. “I’m feeling a little possessive, but not mad, no. It’s good that you’re honest with me. I need to know these things.”

I exhale, “So, are we okay?”

Chase nods. “Yeah, we’re okay. Just...if there’s going to be more with Declan, we all need to get tested.”

I nod in agreement, appreciating his level-headedness. “Of course. I’ll make sure of it.”

Chase steps closer, his eyes softening. “Are you really okay?”
