Ysabel felt guilty for having to push Kian away. She couldn't risk trusting him but she wished she could. He seemed genuinely concerned about her.
With a heavy sigh, Ysabel peeked from her hiding spot, eyeing the kitchen and waiting for anyone to come out and go in.

Now that she was only a few feet away from the kitchen, her stomach remembered to complain as well. Her body felt exhausted with all the dancing, it momentarily malfunctioned.
Ysabel counted to five. When no other movement came from the kitchen, she decided it was time to come out of hiding and attack.
