Irene held onto Trinity as her brother marched down the stairs with Celeste close behind.
"Let her go," he ordered. Irene pushed Trinity away and took a step back. Celeste and Hye-Jin rushes over to Trinity and held her arms as they helped her up. She turned to Celeste and pushed her away before she pulled Hye-jin with her as the slowly distanced themself from her.
"Celeste...what the fuck is going on?!" She asked.
"I don't know,Lorenzo," she said as she turned to him. He then turned to Irene and grabbed her arm before pulling her away into the kitchen. Once alone in the kitchen, she snatched her arm away from his grasp and rolled her eyes.
"Explain," he demanded as he stood with his arms crossed.
"Don't look at me. Ask Silvio. He's the one who came walking with two girls on his shoulder," she said.
"Go get him for me," he told her.
She raised her eyebrow as she crossed her arms and stared at him.
"Please," He clarified. She gave a fake smile and nodded before she left the room in search of Silvio. It wasn't long until she returned with Silvio. She opened the door for him as he walked in before she left so the two could talk.
"Explain," Lorenzo told him as he sat down at the table.
"I was following your orders, but it went south. The short haired one is very observant and caught me. I had no choice but to bring them here. I wanted to know what you wanted to be the next step," Silvio explained as he lent on the table.
Lorenzo took in what Silvio said and thought hard for a moment about what to do.
"Alright, here's what we're going to do..." Lorenzo began.
Celeste, Trinity and Hye-Jin waited for Lorenzo to return in the living room. It was silent for a little before Celeste spoke once the awkward silence became more than she could bare.
"I'm sorry, that this happened. He told me that he was getting Silvio to pick you guys up, but I didn't know it was gonna against your will," Celeste said to them.
Hye-Jin lifted her head before she stood up from the couch. She turned to Trinity and held her hand out as she waited for her to take it. Trinity rolled her hazel eyes before taking Hye-Jin's hand and following her over to Trinity. The two sat down on either side of Celeste and Hye-Jin took Celeste's hands into hers.
"It's okay. I know you didn't mean for this to happen," she said.
"Yeah, I gotta agree. You're a good person. Based off the few hours I spent with you, I don't think you'd do something like that," Trinity said with a laugh. Celeste smiled wide revealing all of her front teeth as she wrapped her arms around them and pulled them closer to her. Trinity and Hye-Jin found themself smiling same as Celeste as the hugged her tightly while patting each other's back. Their smiles began to disappear as they pulled away once the sound of leather derby shoes and combat boots entered the room. They watched as Lorenzo came over to them while Silvio stopped once they reached the couches.
