“What? That can’t be right.” Kaia forced a chuckle. “She’s drunk, Lucien. Don’t take anything she said seriously.”

Lucien shot her a look. “But you know what they say—drunk words are sober thoughts.”

Kaia fell silent, unable to argue with that.

Lucien didn’t even miss a beat. “Absolutely not.”

The next morning, Kaia called Kayla right on time, still worried about her.

Kayla answered groggily, her voice hoarse. “Kaia…”

“Are you okay? Did you drink the honey water I left on the bedside table?” Kaia asked gently.

Kayla groaned. “You brought me home last night, didn’t you? Ugh… sorry for the trouble, Kaia. I owe you a meal next time I’m functional, Ab-!”

Kaia sat up straighter. “Kayla?”
