Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Andy took the phone and called Cole.

This time, someone picked up.

Because he had been searching for Lila, Cole's voice was urgent. "Hello, who's this?"

"Mr. Mason, it's me, Lila," she said slowly.

The background noise on Cole's end instantly died down.

Lila wasn't sure if they knew she was in trouble, so she wasn't sure how to word it. However, Andy, fearing she might give something away, picked up an iron rod from the side and lifted it in warning.

Lila took a deep breath and said, "I'm not looking for you I'm looking for my husband. I called him just now, but he didn't answer. Can you get him for me? I really need to talk to him."

The words she used my husband-were deliberate. She never called Kieran that. Both Cole and Kieran would know something was off.
