Inside the lobby, at a corner with fewer people, a standoff had formed between the Du Ponts and the Ramsys.
Willow was staring at Clyde, thinking to herself, What the hell did her little brother see in this man? Look, he had the gall to chit-chat with her as if nothing was amiss while a girl with white hair, so similar to Micah's, was hanging on his arm.
"Oh, I have no idea you were so close to my brother." Her lips curved into something that wasn't quite a smile. "If Micah knew you were here tonight, I'm sure he would've come too."
Behind them, Jacklin, Dean, and Emile were silently dying. They could practically hear the unspoken accusation hanging in the air. The trio was sweating buckets after buckets, watching the drama unfold. Uncle, you dare bring up Micah in front of Asena, and his sister, Willow? Are you looking for a beating? Uncle, are you insane? Who mentions their partner in front of another woman…especially when said partner's sister is standing right there?
