章節 216: How Everything Started

** Harper **

At the end of the work day, Harper was running out of patience from not hearing back from either Eli or Tyler for way too long, when her phone finally made a sound with the message she had been waiting for.

[ Eli: Tyler wants to talk tonight. ]

[ Eli: He asked if you can leave the two of us to it this time. He promises to be calm, and he does sound like it. ]

Ugh. Sure he does.

Harper wasn't sure if she trusted her brother anymore after last night. The surprise scene that greeted her when the door opened had been borderline frightening, and she didn't want to think about how much worse things could get if she wasn't there. Maybe Eli needed one of those pocket buttons he could press in a hurry to make emergency calls … Either to her or to the hospital.

[ Are you sure about that? ] She asked, chewing her lips in concern. [ I can hang around outside the door and only barge in if I hear smashes. ]
