My Dad Please Come 291
Wendy and Halsey huddled together under the same blanket neither of them asleep They were deep in conversation
“Wendy,haveyouevermetaguylike this?”Halseyasked.
Wendy turned her head What kind of guy
Halsey’sminddriftedbacktothememoryofthehandsomeDwightwithhisbuzzcut.”Youknow,thecold,cooltype.Thekindthat’sreally goodatfightingandalittleintimidating…”

Wendy slips curled into as lys mile Are you talking about Dwight the campus heartthrob
Halseynodded.”Yeah.”
Wendy winked tea singly Are you planning to repay his kindness with your body
Halsey s face turned pink Shut up I m not talking to you anymore
Wendychuckled.
Halsey quickly covered her mouth Wendy stop laughing
Outside rain poured down in heavy sheets but inside the two girls were cozy and warm their quiet laughter filling the small humble room with warmth
Stanleylaythereonthe bed,histhinlipscurlingintoafaintsmile.
Halsey playfully scolded Hey stop making fun of me I don t know who else to talk to so I m telling you You remy cousin in law after all
Halsey treated Wendy as both her cousin in law and confidante
Wendy paused her eyes narrowing What do you mean cousin in law
Halsey s heart skipped a beat She had forgotten that Wendy still didn t know her true identity
Wendy,however,hadheardHalseytalkingabouthercousinbefore.”Halsey,areyoutalking aboutyourscumbagcousin?”
Scumbagcousin?
Stanley turned toward them his gaze sharp and piercing as he shot an icy glare at Halsey Had they been gossiping about him behind his back
Halsey froze.Shenervouslystuckouthertongue.”Oh,mycousin’squitetheheartthrob.Alotofwomenwouldlovetobewithmycousin–in–law,butthere’sonlyonepersonI’dcallthat.”
Halsey swords were clearly meant for Stanley sears
Stanley s expression remained neutral Jessica had complained to him about it before Halsey wasn t interested in being friends with Jessica She had called Jessica to the Lincolns residence that day to get back at her for Wendy s sake
Throughheractions,Halseyhadshown thattheonlycousin-in–lawinherheartwas,indeed,Wendy.

Who Stanley chose to marry was irrelevant she would only acknowledge her own cousin in law
What else could Stanley say
Wendy,however,didn’twanttodelvetoodeeplyintotheaffairsofHalsey’scousin.Afterall,theydidn’tconcernher.Herthoughts driftedtoDwight.Shehadmethimbefore,andtheimpressionheleftwasstillfreshinhermind.
Halsey do you know what I think Dwight s like Wendy asked
Halsey still a little lost in thought responded What
Wendy replied softly Dwight s like a wild horse He s not someone from your world
Halsey thought about it for a moment then yawned her eyelids growing heavy She grabbed Wendy s arm No matter what I m going to take his jacket to the dry cleaners and return it to him I want to thank him in person Wendy I m so tired Let s sleep
Wendynodded.”Okay.”
The two girls quickly fell asleep their peaceful breathing filling the room as they drifted into slumber

He turned to look at Wendy Her small face was buried in the blanket and she was sound asleep Reaching out Stanley gently pulled the covers off of Wendy exposing her left calf
Earlier,shehadbumpeditonarock,butwhen Halseyhadchecked,she hadshownherherrightleg,whichwasunaffected.Herleftcalf,however,wasswollenandbruised.
Shejustdidn’ttellHalseyabout it.
Stanley had never understood why Halsey and Wendy were so close In fact he had tried to get Halsey to build a better relationship with Jessica
Butnow,heunderstood.
