Since Luke asked and Maxen was obviously interested, Cosette had no choice but to tell them where she met Ezekiel Stone. Cosette didn't want to recall that torturous weekend getaway, and that was why she didn't dwell on it. Matter of fact, she wanted to forget just like how Conrad deleted that memory in his head. She was just happy that she was able to go home and shamelessly melt into Maxen's arms.
"So you're saying you, my brother, and that guy spent the entire weekend together?" Luke gasped, sitting on the floor as they ate the chicken wings they ordered so they had a full stomach before reviewing. Cosette didn't lie about that; they planned to study together.
"What else can I do?" her shoulders went down as she sighed. "My grandparents had been abroad for years, so when they returned, they invited their friends over. We didn't know about it, but we had no other choice, even when my dad was not pleased with the idea."
