Violet didn't sleep much the rest of that night after hearing the conversation between Ward and Sarah. What have the pogues been up too. Sitting at the kitchen counter as rafe made her some breakfast, Violet knew she had to see the pogues today.. she had to figure out what was going on.

Kissing her forehead, rafe places a plate of breakfast in front of her "orange or apple?" He asks holding the juice up for her to choose from.

"Apple please." Violet offers Rafe a smile as she watched him pour the cup for her. "Rafe.." she spoke quietly, looking up into his eyes "we need to talk." She continues after Rafe meets her eyes.

Rafe furrows his eyebrows confused "About?" He asks, placing the apple juice in front of her as he sips his own.

"This." Violet points between them, looking down at her breakfast before looking up at him again "Us." She grew nervous, she hated these conversations but after last night.. she needed to know if this was still fake to him..

"Us?" Rafe laughs awkwardly, leaning on the counter across from her "What are you talking about?"

Violet gulps, feeling a lump take form in her throat. She sat silently for what felt like forever trying to build up the courage to admit that she possibly.. maybe.. likes rafe Cameron. "This doesn't feel fake to me anymore.." she mumbles

Rafe starts laughing, shaking his head as he poked his fork into his bacon, taking a bite "That's because it's not vi." He shrugs wondering why she was acting so weird about this

"What?" Violets head shot up, looking at him surprised. Why was he laughing at her?

"It's not fake anymore." Rafe states shrugging his shoulders "Like I said before you don't know what you're doing to me." Rafe answered honestly, freaking himself out a little. Rafe Cameron was not a relationship man.. but with Violet everything felt so easy, so natural.

Violet takes a gulp of her apple juice, moving her food around with her fork to distract herself from this conversation "What does this mean.." she asks quietly

"Means we do what we did before.. but not fake?" Rafe looks at her, a smile on his face "you don't have to act all shy around me now Vi. Not after what you started last night." He winks

"I am officially the least favorite daughter." Wheezie enters the kitchen in a foul mood, plopping herself down next to Violet whose face had gone Scarlett.

Rafe chuckles, eating some of his breakfast before looking over at Violet again "Mm-hm." He mumbles

Wheezie looks over at Rafe, slamming her hands on the table "Sarah and Dad are going to the Bahamas, and did they invite me? Nope." She rolls her eyes, pulling out her phone

"Wait. They're..." Rafe looks over at Wheezie; suddenly paying attention to what she was saying "they're going to the Bahama house? In summer?" He says confused, his eyebrows narrowed

"Yeah." Wheezie shakes her head "I mean, according to Rose, it's "business." they're all up in some new development, and for some super-secret reason, they're going to the Bahamas."

Violets ears peaked at the mention of a super secret reason, linking it back to what she had overheard that night. Sarah didn't betray the pogues right.. she didn't take the gold.

"You know, I..." rafe starts to pace around, clearly irritated "I know about, like... a billion times more about the business than she does."

"Ugh. We're the black sheep. Get used to it, Rafe." Wheezie talks over Rafe, watching as he shook his head "Yeah. Baaaaa" she winds him up
