Chapter 22: Weekend
"Emma?"
I quickly shut my laptop. "V-Vanessa"
She opened the door walking in. "Dinner," she said with a smile on her lips but I didn’t smile back, getting the picture her smile faintly vanished.
"Right," she muttered. "You’re still angry about what I said"
"I understand you, not that I don’t. I mean they are a big shot family and you’re weary that I’m befriending them because I might not feel among"
Her eyes lit up as well as her face, that was quick. "Yes! That’s it! Holy! You’re so smart that’s exactly why"
Too quick... my eyes narrowed.
"They are a very important family and getting involved might hurt you and draw you deep into their world, which is dangerous"
"We’re still talking about their status right?"
"Of course, what else?" she shrugged, croaking her side lip up. Because that very moment I felt she was drifting to something other than that.
