Part III Chapter Ten(16/19)

E L JAMES

I stare at the screen for another five minutes, anxious for his response but

there’s nothing. Christian is not in the mood to play today. I sit back. Can I

blame him? My poor Fifty was probably frantic, back in the early hours of this

morning. Then a thought occurs to me. He was in his tux when I woke this

morning. What time did he decide to come back from New York? He

normally lea一ves functions between ten and eleven. Last night at that hour I

was still at large with Kate. Did Christian come home because I was out or

because of the Jack incident? If he left because I was out ha一ving a good

time, he would ha一ve had no idea about Jack, about the police, nothing—until

he landed in Seattle. It’s suddenly very important to me to find out. If Christian

came back merely because I was out, then he was overreacting. My

subconscious sucks her teeth, wearing her harpy face. Okay, I’m glad he’s

back, so maybe it’s irrelevant. But still—Christian must ha一ve had one hell of a

shock when he landed. No wonder he’s so confused today. His earlier words

come back to me. “I am still fucking mad at you, Anastasia. You’re making

me question my judgment.”

I ha一ve to know—did he come back because of Cocktailgate or because of

the fucking lunatic?
