Back in the house, Lilac had taken a warm bath and changed into Amelia's clothes—a pale oversized sweater and soft lounge pants, as hers were drenched. She walked into the sitting room where Amelia sat curled into the corner of the couch, arms crossed, eyes cold.
Lilac gave a small, hopeful smile. "I'm happy you finally wanted to see me."
Amelia sneered. "Lest you cry to the media that I left you to die in the rain." Her voice was cold like ice. "Don't push it, Lilac. I can still throw you back out there."
Lilac's smile fell, and she became much more serious. "I just want to talk."
Amelia turned to Kai and gave him a nod. He didn't move at first, then he went to Amelia, pressed a kiss on her cheek, his eyes glaring at Lilac coldly. Then he said, "Call me if you need anything," and he stepped out of the room to play with Poppy in his room.
Once he was gone, Amelia turned her attention back to Lilac.
"Well?" she snapped. "What do you want now?"
