Ethan held his breath. He wanted to know whether Kylie was under any threat from her tone.
Kylie waited for a while but heard no sound. "Are you sure someone wants to talk to me?" She turned to ask Tory.
"What? Is he shy?" Tory took the phone again. "I didn't expect you to be a coward." He sounded as arrogant as usual.
He thought Ethan would argue against him, but Ethan directly said, "Meet me at the dock of Seattle at 7:30 pm. I want to see Kylie in person, or..."
Ethan glanced at Ben, whose face was full of anticipation, then hung up on Tory.
Tory looked at Kylie. He made a hand gesture to tell her to enjoy her coffee, then turned around to face the ocean himself.
He looked serious and seemed to be planning something. After a long while, he went to sit across Kylie. "Your 3-day break is over, I think."
Kylie warmed her hands up, holding the cup of coffee. "Can I leave now?"
