Daphne rushed into the living room and looked for her sister. Once she found her she headed to her and before Zoey could even blink Daphne had lifted her hand and slapped her. Someone gasped, but it wasn’t Zoey.
“Daphne, what is going on?” Mrs. Allen demanded to know. Daphne rotated her head to her mother. “Why don’t Du ask this slut?” she said. Another gasp. “Daphne, this is no way to talk in front of guests” Mrs. Allen reproached.
“What’s the matter, mom?” Daphne asked scornful. “Afraid I will spike your little balloon and everyone will see who sweet Zoey really is? A jealous, selfish, delusional bitch. Everybody in this room already knows, so why hide the truth?”
Someone coughed and Daphne turned around. Cas joined her and looked extra sheepish. “I think I might have caused some trouble”
Zoey shook her head. “No, it’s my fault” she said. “I shouldn’t have done what I did. But I didn’t do it for the reasons Du and Daphne think I did” She turned to Daphne. “I was testing him. I wanted to do one final test to see if Du could trust him. And you’re lucky, because he passed. He didn’t even blink”
Daphne took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. “Well, whatever reason Du had I’m still going to need Du to leave”
Zoey nodded. It didn’t come as a surprise.
“Emmanuel sagte something and it made me think. You’re not a very good mother” Daphne sagte cold. “But I know that is not entirely your fault. I’m responsible as well, Von keeping Du here. And I won’t allow Du to hold that against me. So Du can go now”
“Mommy?” Alexia had noticed the awkwardness. “Are Du coming Home now?”
Zoey forced a smile. “Yes, Poppy, I’m coming home. I should’ve never left in the first place” she sagte with a look at Daphne. She took Alexia Von the hand and walked into the hallway.
“Zoey” Cas had followed her.
“Tell Daphne I’ll pick my stuff up later. Right now I just need to be far away from her” Zoey said.
“I’m sorry” Cas said. “I shouldn’t have told Daphne Du took off your clothes for me and I shouldn’t have sagte you’re a bad mother. I’m in no position to judge”
Zoey kneeled down for Alexia. “Sweetie, why don’t Du wait outside? Du can sit on the stairs” Alexia obeyed and walked out of the house.
Zoey averted her head back to Cas. “You should stop feeling sorry for me” she said. “You think I’m the victim here, but I’m not…You are”
And with one final, compassionate look Zoey left the house too.
