Gianna froze.
Her heart skipped a beat as she slowly turned.
There, standing in the doorway, was Arwen —her one hand on the doorknob while her piercing gaze locked onto her.
One glance at her and she could tell that it was not suspicion in her gaze —it was the confirmation.
She has heard it.
"Gia, what happened?"
She heard her mother ask and realized her phone was still on a speaker.
Before she could move to hang up, she heard her mother speak again.
"Was it Arwen, Gia?" Efa had heard the voice, but since she was on the other end of the call, she still needed to confirm it with her daughter. "You can't tell her or let her know anything happening her, Gia. You heard me, right?"
Gianna closed her eyes, not knowing how she should react.
Her mother was asking her not to reveal anything to Arwen … but after saying it so loud and clear, did she even give her a choice to choose from?
