Wendy returned to the girls dorm and was greeted by a video call from Halsey
Halsey s bright happy face appeared on the screen her eyes mischievously dancing How did it go last night Did you and Mr Hawk you know
She wiggled her eyebrows her expression full of playful insinuation
Wendy chuckled trying to keep the mood light Why aren t you back yet
I didn t want to interrupt you two The last thing I wanna do is be a third wheel
Withthat;Halseycontinued,”Mr.HawkhandledLunareallywellthistime.Ihonestlythinkhehasfeelingsforyou.Youguysconsummatedyourmarriageandareofficiallyhusbandandwifenow.Ihope thingsgowellforyouboth,andthatyoucanhaveahappylifetogether.”
Wendy wasn t sure how to respond She popped a candy into her mouth letting the sweetness spread across her tongue
After a moment she smiled and said I appreciate that Halsey Comeback soon alright
“I’llbebacktonight.”
“Okay.”
Wendy ended the call feeling the weight of the conversation linger in the air She s at on her bed and retrieved the crystal pendant from under her pillow Her soft fingers gently traced the intricate patterns on its surface
Just then her phone rang the melodic chime signaling an incoming call
She glanced at the screen Stanley
Stanleywascalling.
Wendy looked down and answered the phone
Stanley s deep magnetic voice filled he rear Are you free now
Wendy s reply was quiet almost a whisper Yeah

“Alright.”
She hung up the call and opened her closet She grabbed something from it and slipped it into her bag before heading out the door

She had guessed as much when they were in the hospital Everything had unfolded just as she expected

Wendy nodded her voice barely a whisper Okay
Stanley tightened his grip on the steering wheel Feel free to ask for anything for the division of assets
I don t need anything Wendy replied What you gave me before was enough I don t want more

“Idon’tneedit.”
This is for that night and last night Take it You ve earned it
Wendy felt like her heart was being gripped by a strong hand The pressure was painful making each breath feel heavy and uncomfortable
She had given herself to him so he offered her money as compensation
No matter how passionate or deep their connection had seemed in his mind it had all been a transaction Everything could be bought with money
