Chapter 11

About two hours later, Seraphina found herself back at Leandro’s front door.

From the entrance, she could see the garage, and Leandro’s car seemed to be missing. Just as she was about to ring the doorbell, the door suddenly swung open from the inside.

Karan was slinging a big bag over her shoulder, yelling back into the house as she stepped out, You stay put, no running around, got it? Your dad will be home tonight!

Midsentence, she turned her head and saw Seraphina standing at the doorway, looking taken aback and then annoyed, Didn’t you already take off? Why are you back here?

Karan grimaced, adjusting her bag and grunting in response.

Seraphina hesitated for a moment before asking, Can I go in and look for my stuff?

Looking like she was pressed for time, Karan shot her an irritable glance, Just go in and find whatever you need, and leave as soon as possible! And don’t go chattering with Valerio, gol it?

Seraphina nodded promptly, Alright, got it. Take care, Karan!

With that, Karan hurried off, looking like she was indeed in a rush.
