Neil blocked Russel with his hand, his eyes full of anger. “What are you doing here?”

Russel chuckled coldly. “Looking for Irene.”

Karina was back. That meant any attempts at rekindling my relationship with Neil were pointless.

This answer only infuriated Neil more. My past entanglement with Russel had caused several arguments between Neil and me, and now Russel was standing right in front of me.
