"I thought Chloe stayed with you last night?"
Molly gulped, glancing at me. "I... um..."
"Don't look at her, look at me," Izaak snapped.
When her teary green eyes landed on him, I already knew she'd break. I shrunk into my seat, watching their intense eye contact. Then Izaak slowly turned towards me, causing me to squirm.
"If you weren't with Violet at her apartment, then where were you?"
"Molly just didn't see me..."
"Don't lie to me." When I still didn't answer, he added, "If I have to spank it out of you right here in front of everyone, I will."
Gulping, I mumbled, "Dominic's...."
Normally he would've demanded I speak more clearly, but Gabe heard what I'd said loud and clear. "Excuse me?" His eyes narrowed at Violet. "You went back to that dump? Are you fucking kidding me?"
"I'm sorry," Molly said suddenly. "I didn't mean to make everyone mad..."
"Bro, it's not a big deal, I didn't use any, we just had a few drinks and talked about shit." Not sure who Violet was talking to because she was too busy adding condiments to her tacos.
"We made it clear in the first meeting that neither of you would return to that place." Izaak's tone was getting louder, more irritated. I wasn't sure if he or Gabe would be first to explode.
But I knew Violet would be the one to light the fire. She finally looked up from her food and laughed. "C'mon, you didn't expect me to take that bullshit seriously?"
