"No one made me come here," she snapped. A moment later, though, she added, in a much calmer tone, "But yes, as a matter of fact, it was Ethan who contacted me. He saw your alarming behavior today and was worried, so he decided to let me know about it."
Well, at least she was being honest about it, not hiding Ethan's involvement. Lane mentally apologized to Eloise and Samantha for blaming them for Clara's visit earlier. It seemed that Clara wanted to come regardless, and it was likely only after she mentioned it to her sisters that they let it slip that they had already some the night before.
But he still couldn't help but scoff, rolling his eyes for good measure to fully display how he felt about the situation. In fact, he was even more annoyed now that he knew the truth than before. "Worried? Do you really think he contacted you because he was worried?"
