Their eyes met, and for a moment, it felt like Allison and Yanis were worlds apart even though they were standing right

Allison ignored Yanis and turned her face away. But he gently turned it back, forcing their eyes to meet.

“Tell me, have you been seeing Xayvion again?” he asked, his voice soft but insistent.

Allison squinted. “Don’t blame everything on Xayvion. Our problems have nothing to do with him.”

“Then what do they have to do with?” he demanded, his anger cutting through the silence.

Allison looked at Yanis without saying a word, her eyes piercing and quiet.

He squeezed her wrist a little tighter. “Allison,” he said, his voice strained.

“I just want some peace, and I don’t want to see you right now, okay?” Allison’s voice broke on the last sentence.

Stephanie had always seen Yanis as Allison’s protector. She couldn’t help but wonder what had happened to change things between them.

Just as they were about to clash, Stephanie stepped in. “Yanis, Allison’s just hurt and not thinking straight. Can you give her some space?”

Yanis looked ready to explode, and Stephanie worried he might say or do something he’d regret. But the word “hurt” seemed to bring him back.

He glanced at Allison and slowly let go. Seeing this, Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief. She stepped forward and said, “Let me talk to Allison alone, okay?”

It was the first time Stephanie had seen Allison push back against Yanis like this. Even when she’d talked about resisting the Lewis family, it was never about Yanis himself.
