The entire kitchen suddenly became quiet. Even Zenobius stopped eating.
Soraya's sharp eyes moved from CeCe to Emily with dangerous calmness, as if she had noticed the strange atmosphere between them.
Emily, on the other hand, only stared at CeCe without blinking.
CeCe stared back too. Both girls looked like criminals accidentally exposing themselves at the same time.
The fire crackled loudly between them while the aroma of barbecue still filled the cave, but somehow none of that mattered anymore.
CeCe swallowed the meat in her mouth nervously.
Emily sighed first and looked away. "I don't know how it happened." She whispered.
CeCe immediately stood up from where she sat beside the fire. "Wait wait wait…" she pointed at her dramatically. "You are actually from another world too?!"
Emily looked exhausted already. "Can you lower your voice?"
"How can I lower my voice?!"
Zenobius frowned deeply. "Another world?"
Both girls froze.
