"I..." Dylan struggled with words. As for why? He didn't know. He silently followed her inside the house as he said, "I was just gonna come inside."
"Didn't seem like it," replied Xiu before beckoning him to lower his head. Dylan frowned in confusion but didn't dare to argue as he silently lowered his head. Xiu took his towel from around his shoulders and started wiping his hair. "I thought you guys weren't friends anymore."
Because of the towel, Dylan couldn't see her face. He thought for a minute before saying, "We are not."
"Then why was he here?" questioned Xiu as she pulled off the towel from his head and walked away.
"He was here as a neighbor to complain about the blunder I did last night." Xiu turned around with an inquisitive look. "The cat I played with was his." Xiu's frown deepened and as if understanding her, he went on, "I also am surprised to know that he's my neighbor. Shocking, right?"
