"Ms. Kay, you're here! | thought you weren't coming," Ron said, striding in with a bag just as | was checking
if breakfast had somehow disappeared into thin air.
"Ta-da! Breakfast!" he announced.
At that moment, it clicked.
Breakfast had arrived all right-just not the one Wayne sent.
| gave Ron a look, waiting. He didn't usually bringbreakfast without skind of reason.
Sure enough, as he set the food down, he said, "I got called in at five this morning, and | was starving, so I, uh,
ate the breakfast on your desk. This one's a replacement." Oh, please. Like | was buying that.
But | was too tired to start anything. "You didn't have to replace it. | already ate."
Total lie. | hadn't eaten at all; I'd barely had an appetite the past few days. And when | did eat, | just felt queasy.
"Con, | can't let you skip breakfast. Unless... you're saying my choice isn't good enough?" Ron asked, giving

| snapped the lid shut. "Eh, doesn't look that appetizing. Not really feeling it."
Ron froze. "Wait, this is all your favorite stuff. How cyou-?"
| cut him off, locking eyes with him. "How do you even know what my favorite foods are?"
Ron stammered, 1-1 heard you mention it. You told me, like, in one of our chats."
Yeah, right. That was the worst cover ever. | knew Hayden had sent him to deliver this, even though we were
over. And the fact he was still pulling these stunts? Frustrating... and confusing. What was he trying to prove
here?
Part ofwanted to throw the food back in Hayden's face and demand an answer. But | held back. If he wanted
a reaction, he'd get the opposite.
"Just because | used to like it doesn't mean | still do. People change. You can stop liking someone halfway
through life-why not breakfast?" | pushed the container back toward Ron.
Ron looked flustered. "Uh, okay... so what do you want to eat? Just tell me, and I'll-I'll have someone bring it."

He looked desperate, like he was under orders to make sure | ate.
"Peri bacon potato cakes," | said, throwing out something totally random that Macy used to make back in
Chiverton. Delicious, but practically incendiary.
Ron looked utterly lost. "Wait, what? Perl... what?"
Exactly. Piri bacon potato cakes weren't exactly popular in Seavora, so | wasn't surprised. But Hayden would've
known.
