CHAPTER 124

  Clad in another one of Jordan's shirts with only her panties on, Emerald stood before the foggy mirror of the bathroom, constantly running the already damp terry through her wet hair. She stared at her reflection, recalling how the night had gone since the unexpected arrival of Carol, Leonardo and Keelan.

  Carol had been more than happy to babble about how Oriana and Keelan had discovered that they both had something in common, their friends, Emerald and Jordan. Apparently, Oriana had also managed to let it slip that she knew where the couple had disappeared into and similarly babble-mouth Keelan hadn't been able to withhold such information from Carol, who had begged him to convince Oriana to take them to the couple.

  This came to that and Oriana was able to persuade Logan, resulting in both friends arriving with the whole calvary. As usual, Maggie had been overjoyed to receive more guests and her reaction had been very akin to that of a kid in a candy store.
