After sending Holy back home, Zac felt like he needed to explain himself a little bit more about what happened at the ball that day. He was sure that Hazel was convinced with Holy's words and would punish him mercilessly, or maybe even get him sentenced to death.
He would die even more severely and miserably than a convict in the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp.
"That night at the ball, Leila and I only attended as friends. There's nothing more to that," Zac said defensively.
Hazel contemptuously sneered deep inside.
'Friend?
I think you mean your girlfriend!' she thought aggressively.
"There's no need for you to explain. I don't care about those things. I'm just here to accomplish a goal," she responded with a cold expression that was filled with an ominous hollowness.
