024 Secret From Five Years Ago

Scarlett’s POV

“Ewww! That’s the truth???” Aurora exclaims, “You SLEPT with him?! Seriously?

After running into Gabriel at Nightingale, we couldn’t stay there. Instead, we found a small, random bar down the street. A quiet, cozy small place, perfect for girls‘ talk.

Lilith closes her eyes with a desperate look, dying under Aurora’s judgy looks, “Accidently, okay? The key word is accident!”

Now that makes sense. Lilith used to be the one handling most of my “code reds“. I can’t imagine two enemies just suddenly fall in love. But then again, Gabriel looked deeply in love though…

“But Gabriel?!” Aurora takes a deep breath to calm herself, only to burst out again, “It’s…Gabriel!”

Lilith looks just as devastated as Aurora.

“When was that?” I ask. If it’s recent, then we might need to buy another set of pregnant tests. A baby not born out of love is the last thing we want…again.
