Hideaway

Banks’s father, Gabriel, urges her to have Kai sign the contract, but Banks knows that Kai will never do it. To prevent Kai from finding out that she is Gabriel’s daughter, Banks starts to cover all the links to her past. To this end, she goes to her mother’s apartment, only to find it in total disrepair. Her mother is present, along with two strange men. A camera has been set up there. Banks destroys the camera and orders the men to leave, then reminds her mother that she pays for the woman’s drugs and anything else that her mother needs. Banks gives her mother what little money she has and then leaves, enraged. She knows that her mother will only feel guilty about the exchange for a moment.

Kai find Banks walking in the rain and picks her up. They go to the dojo, and Kai takes her to the shower, where they stand in the hot water together. Banks does all she can not to smile at this intimate moment between them. Afterward, Kai tells his friend Alex to bring fresh clothes for Banks; Alex brings a sports bra and leggings. Banks is surprised to find that the leggings are comfortable, but she hates the feeling of exposure she gets upon wearing the sports bra.
