30 Keeping up with the Tanners‘ 2

My heart skipped a beat. Why was he here?

I shot to my feet reluctantly, bowing my head in respect that I didn’t feel.

I arched my brow at him. “Where is who?”

“Lyla!” he replied. “I need to know where Lyla is.”

I blinked, taken aback by the directness of his question. I recovered a few seconds later and pointed in the direction of the pack house.

“Lyla? She lives next door at the packhouse. You should be asking her parents. You could go over there
