Chapter 93

KASMINE.

Something was off.

June sat at the kitchen table, absentmindedly stirring the coffee in her cup, the spoon clinking against the ceramic in a slow, repetitive rhythm.

She wasn't drinking it.

She was just staring into the dark liquid, lost in her own thoughts.

"What's wrong?" I asked, leaning against the counter. "You don't look happy."

She sighed deep, heavy-before lifting the cup to her lips and taking a small sip. Then, slowly, she turned to face me.

"Kasmine..." She paused, looking at me.

Something about how she looked at me made my stomach twist, and my palms feel suddenly too warm.

For a fleeting second, the worst possible thought crossed my mind.

Does she know what I and Kester did last night?

I swallowed, forcing myself to keep my expression neutral "Yes?"

She hesitated as if weighing her words. "Have you ever spoken to your brother about me? Even once?"

My stomach dropped, and that guilt I'd been trying so hard to bury came crawling back.

"I mean..." she continued, her fingers tightening around the cup. "After the last time we spoke?

I forced a quick nod. "Uhm... Yeah. Totally. I did."

I fucking lied.

And I wasn't even good at it

Since when did I become such a liar?

June studied me. Her gaze wasn't just casual curiosity-it was searching, picking

apart my words, my body language, and the slight twitch of my fingers on the counter.

Then she spoke again.

"Does he sleep in your room often?"

My heart jumped out of my mouth, and I watched it run out the door.

The breath in my lungs also vanished.

For a second, I forgot how to breathe.

The air in the kitchen suddenly felt too thick.

What was she implying?

Why did I feel like June knew something she shouldn't?

My fingers clenched around the counter as I scrambled for answer.

Think, Kasmine. Think.

"No. He doesn't," I said too quickly, too forced. "He... uh... shifted, one hand going to my waist, the other gripping the edge of the counter as I searched for the right words. “He does that when he's angry... Just to have some space.”

June didn't respond right away.

She just sat there, watching me. Not blinking or reacting. She was just processing

"He gets angry too easily and way too often, I guess." she finally murmured, tilting her head slightly. "Because I've noticed he spends most of his nights in your room."
