“And you… you think you’re in the right now?”

Lowell remained silent. Justice lies in the heart of the beholder. Right now, he might be feeling wronged, but he won’t say it out loud. On the other end of the phone, Elysia was all ears. She knew he didn’t know about the food.

Elysia retorted, “You come alone. I don’t want to see him.”
