Chapter 19 Summary: “Kennedy”

Dean calls Kennedy to tell her that he has a friend, Josh, who works for the San Francisco team, and he knows that Kennedy is one of three leading candidates for the job. Dean wants play matchmaker by setting up a meeting between her and Josh, but she reminds him that she is married. Dean says he can’t wait for her to divorce Isaiah. She asks why Dean hates Isaiah, but he won’t tell her. 

Later, Kennedy arrives at the airport for the team’s next trip. She and Isaiah arrive separately, careful not to run into anyone from the team. She asks Isaiah about his rivalry with Dean, but Isaiah doesn’t want to speak badly about her stepbrother, because he knows that they are close.

While boarding the plane, Kennedy worries that Reese saw them arrive separately, and she holds Isaiah’s hand to ensure that they look like a happy couple. His countenance drops when he realizes that she is just doing this for show. She texts him and asks if he is okay, and he tells her that he is fine but sometimes he forgets that their relationship is not real. Later, in bed, Kennedy wonders why Isaiah is still sleeping on the floor after their intimate encounter of the previous night.
