Zaria's phone chimed, rescuing both of them from the awkwardness that was starting to build.
"I need to take this." She excused herself. "Hey, Xim."
Ximena's screech of excitement was so loud that Zaria had to pull the phone away from her ear. "Liam woke up!"
"He did? Thank goodness."
"It's a good thing he paid heed to my warning."
Zaria chuckled. "I'm coming over."
When the call ended, Natalie was curious. "I couldn't help overhearing that. Liam is awake now?"
Zaria nodded. "I'm going to see him. Do you want to come along?"
"I have a meeting with Aunt Lucy in a bit. I'll drop by to see him later. She quickly said. Well, the meeting was not made up but even if she didn't have anything important to do, she would rather poke needles into her eyes than be in the same breathing space as Ximena right now. Until the culprit was found, the last thing she wanted was to be in a place that could start more fights.
