CHAPTER 80

  Dante was just ending the call when the sound of a loud crash hit his ears and had him cursing in surprise. He raced into the kitchen and stared, confounded, at the vision before him. Lori was very ungracefully splayed out on the floor after obviously having smacked her head against the wall if the trail of blood was anything to go by. Everyone at the table had risen from their seat and was staring down at her, wide-eyed. And Freya...well, she was leaning against the counter calmly biting into a slice of bacon as if there weren't a woman moaning and bleeding all over the floor.

  "What the hell happened?" he demanded.

  Freya's expression was perfectly serene when she peered up at him. "She fell." The sound of muffled laughter had his attention returning to the table to find Oswald, Jodie, Maya, Cameron, and Wyatt chuckling so hard they were shaking. Although the others were silent, none of them – not even Margaret – had been able to hold back an amused grin.
