Elysia hung up without another word.
Winona shook her head. "Why are you so mad at Mr. Bradford? He didn't do anything wrong. Poor guy's totally
innocent."
Elysia was fuming.
"Innocent? Not even close. He and Keaton are thick as thieves-if Keaton messes up, Bradford's guilty by
association!"
She knew Keaton was getting the short end of the stick, but this whole mess started with him!
Alicia was his plus-one-his responsibility, period!
While Elysia and Winona climbed into the ambulance, meanwhile, the two " magnets" were on the phone
with each other.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMa#1: Tarquin.
"| just called Elysia. She didn't say much, but she's furious. What the hell happened?!"
Ma#2: Keaton.
"Don't even getstarted. | just started dating someone new and she-"
Tarquin cut him off, voice icy.
"I don't care how you fix this, but you better sort it. I'll tell you right now: if my wife bansfrom hanging out
with you over this, we're done."
Keaton: "Aw, con-"
"And before we're done, I'm kicking your ass!"
Tarquin hung up before Keaton could answer.
Keaton just stared at his phone. "... Seriously?"
Before he could process, Janelle's number lit up his screen. She sounded frantic.
"| just heard Winona's at the hospital! She hurt her head, needed stitches-what the hell happened?"
Keaton sighed. "It's... complicated."
Janelle snapped, "What do you mean, 'complicated'?"
"I mean, it's not something | can explain in a sentence or two."
"Put Winona on the phone. I'll ask her myself."
"I'm not with her. I'm at home."
Janelle's volshot up.
"Winona's hurt and you're at home? Why aren't you at the hospital with her?!"
Richard was pacing in the background, chiming in with a sarcastic, "And you're supposed to be courting her?
Winona gives you the tof day, she must need her eyes checked!"
Janelle was losing it.
"Are you out of your mind? How could you let her go to the hospital alone? Even if you don't love her don't you
care as a friend? My God, Keaton, what am going to do with you?"
"Wait a second-knowing you, if a pretty girl got hurt, you'd be the first
one to rush in Why didn't you,
with her? Did Winona tell you not to come?"
Keaton hesitated. "... Yeah."
Janelle's tone turned deadly serious.
"Why would she tell you not to come?"
Keaton was silent.
"Did you hurt her?"
"No! I'd never lay a hand on a woman."
