Author's POV:

Two Years Ago:

Christina had yet to expose Enya's mother's truth to Maynard, but prior to that, she had visited Enya's old home with Enya, Maynard, and Lazio. It was hard for her to be friendly with Enya and always be there for her when, in reality, she just wanted her out of the picture now.

Are you okay?" Christina heard Maynard ask Lazio, who looked stunned. He was staring at Enya's face, making Christina think something must have happened. She noticed Lazio was looking straight at the photo frames.

"Lazio?" Enya called for him, but he didn't even blink. The intensity he was looking at her was making Christina uncomfortable. If looks could kill. Christina bet Lazio would have murdered Enya by now.

It was rare to watch any of them look at her with these glares, so Christina was intrigued to know what was going on.

"Lazio!" Maynard shook him awake while Christina stayed silent, enjoying the show.

I am sorry!" Lazio whispered. "It's too dusty for me. I will wait outside," he rushed out of the house, leaving us all confused by him. Christina noticed Enya and Maynard. She knew they would talk the moment she left, but she had no other choice left. She had to rush after Lazio because she believed she would never get a better time than this.

"I will go see if he needs help.’ Christina said, smiling sadly at Enya before running out of the house.
