*Trisha*

"What the hell is going on over there?"  I ask.

Never mind Nate admitting himself to the Avalon, once Jonah told Casey- who told me- that he was also spending the night there I had to call Nate to see what is happening.

"You wouldn't understand, Trish."

"How long do you think you will be staying? We have a meeting with Leslie to go over the tour. You know..... your Around The World tour you should be in the middle of right now?" I look down at my laptop at our agenda for the next two weeks, trying to shuffle things around to fit everything in.

"Well aware and I'm not sure yet, put it all on hold."

"So Jonah is definitely spending the night there with you?"

"For tonight, yes."

"Why do I get the feeling you are low-key withholding information from me??" I squint my eyes like Nate can see me through the phone call. He's hiding something. I can tell.

"Listen, they are going to adjust Julia's medication. She hasn't been sleeping well at night and has been going through a lot. That's all. Jonah wants to be here in case something happens. Plus, you know Jonah. He finds this shit intriguing."

"Julia's mental health? He finds crazy people intriguing?" I scoff.

"Casey is fine with Jonah spending one night here...why do you care so much?"

"Jonah was hired to care for you, Nate. Not Moretti." I remind him while multitasking and typing an email.

"You're not fucking serious, Trish, are you? Jonah has been hired BY me with MY money for whoever needs medical care in our core group. You included. I believe your behavior suggests a need for a mental evaluation, lately." He bleeds sarcasm.

The line goes dead. Did he just fucking hang up on me? 

"Motherfucking Bastard Child." I huff and Evan's eyes widen from across the dining room table. "May I help you?" I give him a dirty look.

"You kiss your momma with that mouth?"

"No. She's dead, remember?"

Evan tenses up. I can't quite recall if I ever mentioned that to him, and now he feels awkward.

"Sorry." I wave him off. "It's just...not everything revolves around Julia. Nate has responsibilities. He drops everything for her."

"I sense jealously."

"You sense someone who has a shitload of work to do and needs her boss to actually step up to the plate and get things done for a change!"

The bodyguard doesn't know what to say to this nor does he want to get involved.

"Fuck it." I slam my laptop closed and look around the room. "Let's do something."

"Like what?" Evan asks. Casey glances over at me from her book.

"C'mon guys. I need a break. Let's go.... I don't know. Let's do something fun. Let's go bowling or something."

"Are we back in middle school?" Casey laughs a little.

"Please. You're barely out of middle school. C'mon. I don't want to work anymore. I don't want to be here. Bowling could be fun!"

Evan shares a look with Casey and they both shrug. 

"Nate Hollan is paying me to go bowling? Sure, why not." Evan chuckles. Casey smiles and puts her book down before responding.

"Nate Hollan is paying me to go bowling too."
