Khloe turned around, forcing a stiff smile. "Adrian!"
"Did Norah invite you? Why are you bailing the second you get here? Don't want to see me?" Adrian joked lightly.
"Of course not. I just remembered I didn't park my car right." Khloe sat down across from them. "Actually, it's fine. The valet will probably call me if it's an issue."
Sara quietly crushed out her cigarette.
Adrian poured some tea. "What would you like to drink?"
Refusing to look at Sara, Khloe offered Adrian a sweet smile. "Anything is fine!"
"Have some herbal tea. It's calming," Adrian said, handing her a cup.
"Thanks, Adrian!"
Adrian sat back down, choosing his words carefully. "Khloe, about what happened at Sara's apartment the other day... you misunderstood. Sara got into a dispute with someone over drinks. I happened to be there, and we both got dragged to the police station. We didn't get out until late. Sara didn't want me going home completely trashed, so she let me crash on her couch. Absolutely nothing happened between us. It wasn't what it looked like."
Khloe shot Sara a sidelong glance and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry. I was just worried Norah would get hurt."
She paused, then twisted the knife. "After all, Sara has a history of stealing her friends' boyfriends. Everyone knows that."
Sara's face instantly hardened. "Khloe!"
Khloe scoffed. "Am I wrong? Why do you think Gwenyth Harmon moved abroad? Why hasn't she come back in all these years? You know exactly why."
Sara looked sick. "So is this about Gwenyth, or is it because you're mad on Norah's behalf? Or maybe... you're just doing this for yourself!"
Khloe's gaze flickered nervously. "I'm looking out for Norah, obviously!"
Sara stared at her in utter disappointment. "Khloe, I'd respect you more if you just admitted your real motives instead of acting like such a hypocrite."
Khloe's face darkened. "Sara, I've been trying to spare your feelings."
