"Why are you here?" Caitan asks, pointing at Avery. "You should be asleep—I mean, never mind."
Avery nods. She suspected Caitan drugged the water, but now she knows for sure. It makes sense that Andrew's sister would want revenge after her previous plan with the purse, and the condoms backfired. If she caught Avery naked with another man, Avery would be forced to leave the city in shame. Avery steps forward and grabs Caitan's fingers, crushing them in her palm.
"Why would I be sleeping, Caitan?" she asks. "Do you know something I don't?"
"You're hurting me," Caitan wails.
Avery bends Caitan's fingers backward and asks, "Why did you think I'd be here?"
"I—I saw you come into this room," Caitan says between sobs.
"I thought you forgot your contact lenses and couldn't see clearly," Avery says.
"Let go, let go," Caitan cries.
