For the first time, Erin set down her drumsticks and pistachios, jumping up and down on the couch, eyes wide with curiosity. "Tell me, tell me!" Keira shared a quick glance with Lewis, and then they both looked at Erin.

Keira waved her over.

Keira raised a brow. "You're that curious?"

Erin nodded furiously. "Yes, yes, yes!"
