Kylie Bray (Love, Hate and Billions)

Sneaking a glance from the corner of my eyes I stare at his face,

Our eyes lock and my breathing labored.

My body freezes, Unbending at the scrutiny in his transfixed stare.

I'm not fooled by the casualness he is trying, and succeeding to impersonate, a little too well when he asks,

“Who's the brains behind this one?”

And neither is Diamond as we exchange a silent agreement when she shifts.

Years of friendship make it easy for us to communicate without words.

We both knew this morning when we decided to do this that he of all my brothers would suspect something because of where we were going.

But he doesn't need to know we already thought about all of that.

We have our own agenda tonight.

And although Vincent is on to us,

He lacks something vital, something only Kevin has- true perception.

You can't have it if you have emotion and my brother Kevin has non of that, he feels nothing, too bad for Vincent he isn't here.

I wouldn't tell any of that to Vincent, he is cold and mean but he has emotion.

Lots of it going by the hard angry glare he is giving us as he taps his fingers restlessly on his thighs waiting for us to answer.
