“You know the additional security is driving Grace and Mia crazy,”

“Security for all of the Greys has been tripled. Gazillioned, even.”
“Really?”
“He hasn’t told you?”
I flush. “No.” Damn it, Christian! “Do you know why?”
“Jack Hyde.”
“What about Jack? I thought he was just after Christian,” I gasp. Jeez. Why
hasn’t he told me?
“Since Monday,” Kate says.
