“You are free of him,” adds Asa.
Harmony looks at me. “Hugo,” she says in a small voice. “You don’t know what you’ve done. Screech will never let this go. This won’t stop him.”
“It will, my love. He has no standing any more, no one will believe a word he says from now on.”
I really believe what I am saying, but Harmony is shaking her head.
“I really appreciate everything you have done, but Hugo, I am afraid. Afraid he is going to take it to the next level, and now you will be in his crosshairs too.”
“You silly thing. Of course I want him coming after me. That way I can end him.”
HARMONY
Iwant to scream, I want to dance, I want to cry.
I also want to run.
My phone rings. It’s Sheila’s special ringtone. I walk out into the hallway.
“Hi, everything alright?”
“Never mind me, she says. “How are you? What do you make of it all?”
“You’ve been online?”
“Of course. Your dear men have been keeping us informed. How do you feel, Harmony?”
My stomach flips. “I just don’t know. Elated, terrified. Screech will hate all this. He’ll get his revenge, I know he will.”
“He may try, but you are not alone any more, my love. I truly believe this is going to change everything. Trust your menfolk.”
“I do trust them,” I tell her. “But I also know Screech.”

It’s official. I’m moved out of the cabin, and into the ranch. Also official is the fact Einstein didn’t move with me. Waldo offered to keep him.
How could I say no?
“Waldo says he and Einstein are getting on like a house on fire,” Lennox tells me, as he comes in from a run around the grounds.
I laugh. “I’m glad, those two were meant to be.”
I like being here full-time at Gold Creek Ranch with the guys. I feel completely safe. Whatever Screech is planning, he cannot get me here.
And I am also sleeping ten hours a day.
A decade of holding my breath, scared to exhale, has left me exhausted. The guys are waiting on me, hand and foot.
Lennox returns from his shower waving a notepad. “Hey, babe. I’ve been making a list of all the games I wanna play, once the album is done and we can all go on vacation.”
Asa grabs it out of his hand, “I want to see.”
He starts to laugh. “Hid an go eet? Do you mean hide and go seek?”
“Bro, no. It’s a Harmony version. I’m calling it ‘hide and go eat…Harmony’. She goes and hides, whoever finds her first gets to munch her pussy until the next one finds her.”
“I’m in,” says Asa. “What happens then?”
