Chapter 136

You're joking, right?" She asked, eyeing him, sceptical 

"I am." And then Ezra laughed heartily. But, his happiness was short-lived when he saw Cleo, confronting Finn. From here, it looked like they were just having a normal conversation, but there was a certain tension in her spine, he could read that anywhere. Cleo was in trouble. His body stiffened.

"Don't even think about it. Let them sort it out. Then, you can go and meet her."

"You think?"

"Yeah." Allison sipped some more of her drink. "I'm pretty sure they will." Ezra relaxed somewhat, and they both started talking. He had let himself get carried away by the gist, and when he lifted his head to stare at Cleo, he was surprised to see Finn's hands poised in the air as if ready to slap her. Motherfucker! Ezra didn't even think of the consequences, or of what getting involved could do to him, but he did it anyway. He strode towards them quickly, shoved Finn to the ground and landed the first punch.
