It’s Like He’s Changed
"The sky isn’t bright yet, so I’m not going to bet on any cabs.Besides, letting a young lady take a cab
alone at this time is dangerous, so I'll just have Fionn drive you.He’s with me, after all."
Deirdre appreciated it immensely.
"Thank you."
"Don’t be, Miss McKinnon.I’m doing this not just because you’re my friend’s girl but because I admire
you for your character and charm.I think we’re more than just someone who knows each other because
of Kyran, right? We are friends, period.So we help each other out and skip saying thanks all the
time.It’s what friends do," he replied, laughing.
Deirdre felt warmth in her heart.What he said relieved her from feeling like a burden and allowed her
the peace of mind to accept his help.
"If you say so, Declan.I’ll take full advantage, then!"
"Ha! Now that’s the spirit!"
Declan joked.
"Fionn's on his way.It should take him about half an hour.Just wait for him."
Deirdre immediately changed into her casual wear and gathered fresh clothing for Kyran.
She was worried that the man would be so sick that he vomited all over himself and had no new
clothes to change into.
About half an hour later, Fionn knocked on her door.She opened it, greeted him, and still felt a tinge of
guilt.
"I’m so sorry, Mr.Fox.You have to drive in the dead of night to escort me like this."
The young man was surprised.
"No, Miss McKinnon.There really isn’t anything to be sorry about! Mr.King and I have both decided to
forego sleep for tonight, so driving you there neatly slots into the agenda."
She nodded and got into his car.
"The business in Alnwick...It must be pretty hectic, huh?"
Fionn obviously paused for a few seconds.
"It’s...manageable.It's not a whole pile of work, but someone has to supervise the construction and be
there on-site.A lot of its minor things are being settled, though."
Deirdre thinned her lips.
"Has Kyran been...busy with you guys too?"
Fionn had expected her to ask something like this, so he supplied her with a non-answer, "You’re not
wrong."
"Why did he have to drink? Was it a social event related to work?"
He flashed her a smile.
"I wouldn’t know about that since I just returned from Alnwick when Mr.Reed was already drunk Still, I
don’t think you need to fret too much about it, Miss McKinnon.Mr.Reed is a grown-up who knows what
he’s doing, so I bet he has some good reasons to drink too.Once he sobers up and wakes, you can ask
him."
Deirdre could read between the lines, so she let the questions drop.Her fingers tightened around
Kyran’s fresh new clothes.She got out of the car as soon as it stopped.
Fionn led her to the guest room's door just in time when Declan came out of it.
He quickly noticed the eyebags under her eyes and chuckled in helpless amusement, "Oh God, you
came with eyebags like that, Miss McKinnon? Kyran’s going to kill me for bringing you here without
giving you the time for a proper rest!"
Deirdre smiled.
"Well, I’ll just tell him I came of my own volition.I couldn’t sleep while I was at home, anyway.How’s he
doing?"
Declan cast an aside glance at the man on the bed, who had covered half his face with one hand.
His skin was ruddy from his indulgence, and judging from the man’s furrowed eyebrows, Kyran
obviously did not enjoy his current state at all.
"Drank hard enough to turn off his brain.Pretty unconscious," he concluded and stepped aside for
Deirdre to enter.
She felt her way to the bed and tried to look through the perpetual fog that hung over her eyes.She felt
her chest tightening before her heart sank as though a boulder was tied to it.She breathed a little
harder.
Why had he drunk himself into such a stupor? The Kyran she knew had always been disciplined,
sensible, and rational.
He rarely had moments when he lost himself to abandon, let alone trouble anyone else with his own
lack of control.But he just had not been like himself today, had he?
