Chapter 442: Partners, Part 1

Half an hour later, I sat at the dining room table with Trent, Whitney, Isach, and Abby. Trent was hovering close to me - not that I was complaining - but he was being unusually quiet, and based on the scowl he worse, I could tell he still wasn't very happy that we had uninvited guests. I really wish I knew what was bothering him.

"So, why did you barge into our house?" Trent asked, his gaze leveled on Whitney.

"I told you. I needed to talk to Chloe, and she wasn't answering her phone," Whitney said, meeting his stare. "Neither were you. And after everything that's happened, when I couldn't get an answer, I started to worry. So, I came over." She shrugged.

Trent's posture seemed to relax a little, and I hoped he wouldn't be angry with Whitney for too long - she'd only been concerned for our safety.

"Why were you trying to call me in the first place?" I asked, reaching under the table to rest my hand on Trent's leg.
