Chapter 36

 Before I could react, Enzo dragged Kyle away from me by his collar. 

“A verbal thank you would be enough,” Enzo snapped, his face a little sullen. 

Kyle laughed dryly and kept glancing upstairs; I immediately understood what he meant. Kyle had probably brought his date home, but he didn’t want Lilla and Enzo to know. 

The most important thing to do now was to get Enzo and Lilla away. I focused on the unfinished red wine glass and pretended to head to the sofa to sit down.

“Oh, dear!” I exclaimed. 

Enzo walked over. “What’s wrong?” 

I learned on him and gasped, “I knocked on the coffee table with my knee, and my skirt is ruined.” 

“It’s okay, I have clean clothes in my room. You can wear mine for now,” Lilla said.
