Amara knew Elysia well enough to not press the issue. She just joked around a bit, and the two of them started heading out.
Since Elysia had been drinking, Amara planned to drop her off at home before heading back herself.
But as they were making their way to the underground parking garage, three unwelcome faces appeared: Finnian, Dorian, and Jessica.
Finnian and Dorian walked side by side at the front, with Jessica slightly behind, sticking close to Dorian.
Seeing them, Elysia's expression turned icy, her gaze sharp. Amara frowned as well.
"Let's take a different route, Ely," Amara muttered under her breath, thinking "just our luck," as she grabbed Elysia's arm, ready to turn around.
Elysia frowned. "Why should we change our path? They're the ones who should move."
Even though she said that, she didn't resist Amara pulling her along.
Amara sighed, "You see a rabid dog on the road, you don't stick around to reason with it, right? You just walk away."
Elysia chuckled at the analogy, her irritation fading in an instant.
Just then, Amara heard footsteps and felt someone grab her arm. It was Finnian.
Amara frowned. "Mr. Everly, what are you doing?"
Without a word, Finnian pulled her aside.
His grip was firm, leaving no room for argument, and Amara wasn't pleased.
