Chapter 5

"Did you two fight?" Lilybella asked.

"None of your business," Satele snapped and circled her way towards the cabin.

"You know, Lilybella envies you."

Satele stopped and faced Lilybella with a scowl. "Huh?"

"Lilybella is doing everything she can for the man she likes. But you have it easy since Asher is going after you." Lilybella tilted her head and forced a smile. "Lilybella is envious and . . . irritated. It's alright if you don't have feelings for him, but it certainly is not the case. So what's stopping you?"

"Shut up!" Satele shouted. Her anger was boiling again, for Lilybella hit a sore spot. "What do you know?" She couldn't fall in love with him. She couldn't. She didn't want the pain that comes with that word.

"Are you two fighting?"

Both Lilybella and Satele looked at the newcomers.

Eric and Evangeline were looking at them, hand in hand.

"Did we disturb something?" Eric scratched the back of his head.
