Chapter 125

"Is that any way to welcome your sisters?" Lily, my little sister, asked, with Kelsey in tow.

"Sorry, headache. This really isn't a good time." I tried to close the door, but she just stuck her foot in the way, and I knew they weren't going to leave peaceably.

"What?" I asked a little snappier than I meant as they barged past me. "Please come on in," I said under my breath, and not in a polite way.

"Don't mind if we do," Lily said, as Kelsey fished out an aspirin from her purse and handed it to me.

"Thanks," I said, genuinely feeling like a tool for taking out my frustrations on them.

"Sit down," Kelsey said, motioning to the sofa in a corner of the room. Something told me she meant business and that I wasn't going to like it. "Shall I start, or you?" she asked my sister.

"Oh, I got this," Lily said with a wicked grin. "Elise, it's been over two months of the sulking, hiding, hermit crap. We've tried to be understanding and give you your space." I snorted at her. "I said tried!Anyway, enough is enough. You don't want to talk about whatever happened to you. Fine. But E, you're really scaring us."

"Kyle's convinced you were raped and is ready to start interrogating every wolf in San Marco to get to the bottom of it," Kelsey said matter-of-factly.

"What? Raped? He can't be serious. Nothing happened to me. I appreciate the concern, but honestly I'm just busy, with a lot on my mind."

"Bullshit," Lily challenged.

"It's just some personal stuff I'm dealing with, but I'm fine."

"You're not fine. There's nothing fine about you waking up at four a.m. and sneaking into the office. You are less of a morning person than I am. There's nothing fine about locking yourself away from everyone, whether here in your office or at home in your room. If you had a smile on your face even once I'd think you were having an illicit affair you didn't want anyone to know about, but E, you look completely miserable and it scares us."
