Ellison hadn’t expected it. The person answering the phone wasn’t Joycelyn, but one of her female colleagues.

“Where is she?” Ellison’s voice dropped low, cold as he asked again.

“She’s drunk, at the restaurant. But she didn’t say where she’s staying, you…”

“Send me the address.” Ellison cut Selene off sharply.

Selene hesitated, speaking through the phone, almost instinctively obeying him, “I’ll send it to you in a moment.”

With that, the call ended abruptly.

Selene swallowed nervously, her back damp with cold sweat. “Joycelyn, what kind of man did you find? He’s so cold and fierce.”

“A bit,” Aurelia nodded in agreement.

“Do you think he might be the type to get violent when he’s angry?” Selene muttered, half–joking.

At this, the group fell silent.

Joycelyn, still half–drunk, straightened up when she heard Selene’s words. Half awake, she said, “What do you mean ‘domestic violence‘? He wouldn’t do that.”

Selene sent the address of the restaurant to Ellison and handed the phone back to Joycelyn.

“Joycelyn, it’s your first relationship, you aren’t being emotionally manipulated, are you?”

Joycelyn, cheeks flushed, wobbled a little in her seat. She shook her head and then slumped back onto Aurelia’s shoulder.
