  When she wasn&quot;t with Lucy she was often with Michey who was helping her improve her cooking skills, or sometimes Jeremy who was teaching
  her how to hack. Chris was of course often there, but as her friend just as much as her bodyguard. He was very easy to be around, he wasn&quot;t complicated, he didn&quot;t brood, and he didn&quot;t blow hot and cold. Gio could learn a few things from him. She also found that she got along pretty well with Donny, which kind of surprised her because ordinarily she tired of flirtatious people. And Donny

  Four days ago Lindy had come to him complaining that Danica had taken their deckchairs and barbeque from storage and set them up near the
  lake as an area where she could go and relax. A few minutes later Danica was sitting by the lake at the table trying her best not to laugh at the way Suza and Rick were glancing around nervously as if they were expecting Gio to jump out and pounce on them.
