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.

Erin's eyes lit up as she scrambled over, pressing her ear right up to Keira's mouth.

Keira leaned in. "Ryan told me…"

Erin's eyes brightened even more. "Come on, out with it! Do I need to clean my ears or something?"

Keira smirked. "The phrase is 'I'm all ears,' and no, it doesn't mean literally."

"Oh, oh, right! I'm all ears! Spill it already, I'm dying of curiosity!" Erin whispered. "You don't know how many times I've sparred with that Lion these past few years! I need to know who she is!"

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

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