The phone rang for quite a while before Blossom picked up. "Hey, Elysia."
The sight of Blossom on the video call took Elysia by surprise!
She quickly shifted the camera away, worried Tarquin would see and scold her, saying, "Have you lost your mind, answering a video call in the shower?"
Blossom just chuckled and replied, "Come on, you're practically family. Plus, I'm all wrapped up in a towel now. Why are you calling at this hour anyway? Weren't you off to some guy's place for dinner?"
Some guy?
Tarquin's expression changed instantly. Was she talking about him?
Elysia's awkward attempt to smile faltered as she quickly changed the subject.
She showed Blossom around the kitchen, showcasing the seafood spread, and asked if she wanted to come over for dinner, mentioning it was Elijah's dad who had invited her over as a thank you for being so kind to Elijah.
Blossom practically drooled at the sight, "Holy moly! He's really splurging! That looks delicious! But I've got plans tonight, so I can't make it, what a shame! I would've loved some of that bluefin tuna and crab bisque. Hey Elysia, maybe you could pack some up for me?!"
No sooner had Blossom finished her sentence than the call suddenly dropped.
Elysia tried calling back but it was busy. She must have been receiving another call.
Tarquin asked Elysia, "Who's this guy?"
Elysia's attempt at a smile twitched as she bravely countered, "What guy?"
"The one Ms. Blythe just mentioned."
"You must have misheard, she didn't mention any guy!"
"Do you think I'm an idiot or just hard of hearing?"
Elysia: "…Alright, it's just a silly nickname we have for guys around us. We call them 'some guy' just for fun, it's not about you."
Tarquin clearly didn't buy her story.
After looking displeased for a moment, he didn't press further; instead, his thoughts returned to Blossom.
Blossom was in the shower?
That meant when Axel had someone knock on her door earlier, she probably didn't hear it because she was in the shower.
