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

“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.

“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.
