Eliana stumbled out of the room, her heart pounding in her chest and her face burning with heat.
The weight of Leo's sister's gaze still lingered on her, sharp and unyielding. Embarrassment clawed at her, making it almost impossible to breathe.
She probably thinks I'm some shameless maid throwing myself at her brother! she thought, pressing her hands to her cheeks in a vain attempt to cool them. Ugh! How humiliating!
She kept her head down as she moved quickly through the hall, eyes fixed on the floor.
She couldn't bring herself to meet anyone's gaze, not when she felt like every person she passed could see right through her.
Her thoughts swirled in a chaotic mess—her fight with Molina, Leo's kiss, and now Misty catching them in such a compromising state. Her chest tightened with the weight of it all. I just need to talk to someone…
With that thought, she made her way toward Alice's room, her only friend.
