He paused for a second, then seemed to remember something. His eyes
narrowed. "Are you hungry?"
"Nope."
"How about we talk first, then eat later?"
"Sure!"
Winona strode right into the living room and flopped onto the couch.
Keaton, wearing straight-leg jeans and a crisp new shirt from the latest V collection, padded into the kitchen in
his designer slippers-seriously, those things cost more than most people's cars. He cback with two cans of
craft beer, handed one to Winona after popping the tab for her. She didn't hesitate, just downed the whole thing
in one go.
Before Keaton could react, she snatched his beer right out of his hand and chugged that too.
He stared at her, stunned. "Whoa-Winona! What's going on? You okay?"
She looked up at him, and her expression had totally changed her eyes were red and glassy, like she was about
to burst into tears. She looked so small and vulnerable all of a sudden.
"Keaton, just tellthe truth. Are we actually friends?"
Keaton's heart skipped a beat. He was a total sucker for a pretty face in tears. "Of course we are! Why would you
even ask that?"

She pressed on, "Then did you know your parents are trying to set us up?"
Keaton hesitated. "Yeah, | know."
Winona glared. "And you never thought to tell me?!"
He shrugged, looking sheepish. "I didn't think it was a big deal. It's not like we're actually going to date or
anything. They're not forcing anything, just let them dream. It's not affecting us."
Winona huffed, "Not affecting you, maybe. But it's a disaster for me! Beatrix caftertoday!"
Keaton blinked. "She did? When?"
"This morning! She calleda homewrecker. Said | was stealing you from her!
She even threatened me—toldto stay away from you or else!"
Keaton frowned, doubtful. "Seriously?"
She pulled out her phone, scrolled, then shoved it in his face.
He squinted at the messages. "...Alright. I'll talk to her."
Winona shook her head, frustrated. "What good will that do? | already tried explaining she doesn't believe mel
She's convinced I'm after you, and anything you say will just make it worse!" s
"If she spreads this online tomorrow, I'll get roasted alive! The press doesn't care about the truth, only clicks. I'll
be branded a cheater. Even if they don't blackball me, my career will take a fit!" s
"Keaton, | thought we were friends. But if this mess ruins what I've worked for, | swear I'll lose it!"
"Yeah, | could quit and still live just
fine, but acting-this is my dream!

"Winona, don't cry. Please. | promise I'll handle Beatrix, okay?"
She looked up at him, tears clinging to her lashes. "How? You already admitted to
