1746 Unknown Threat (Part 2)

"Please?" Elina took her hand, making Kamila feel cornered.

She looked at Lith, hoping for a way out.

"Please?" He rerepeated and his sad eyes became the final nail in the coffin of her determination.

"I'd love to dine with you. See you later, kids." She walked in front of Solus, extending her a hand. "Nice to meet you in person, Solus. You look great."

"Thanks, you too." Solus felt the awkwardness in Kamila's voice, yet her grip was firm and so was her gaze.

For a moment, Solus felt like a boxer studying her opponent on the ring right before the sound of the gong. Then, Kamila let go of her hand, put on her coat, and walked out the door quickly followed by Lith.

She had several comments about how pretty Solus was and even more questions about how her relationship with Lith had evolved since his so-called partner had regained her human body, but after seeing Lith so glum, Kamila put everything aside.
