Their eyes met, and for a moment, it felt like Allison and Yanis were worlds apart even though they were
standing right
there.
Allison ignored Yanis and turned her face away. But he gently turned it back, forcing their eyes to meet.
“Tell me, have you been seeing Xayvion again?” he asked, his voice soft but insistent.
Allison squinted. “Don’t bleverything on Xayvion. Our problems have nothing to do with him.”
“Then what do they have to do with?” he demanded, his anger cutting through the silence.
Allison looked at Yanis without saying a word, her eyes piercing and quiet.
He squeezed her wrist a little tighter. “Allison,” he said, his voice strained.

“I just want speace, and | don’t want to see you right now, okay?” Allison’s voice broke on the last sentence.
The tension around Yanis was palpable, and for the first time, Stephanie saw just how bad things had gotten
between them.
Stephanie had always seen Yanis as Allison's protector. She couldn’t help but wonder what had happened to
change things between them.
Just as they were about to clash, Stephanie stepped in. “Yanis, Allison’s just hurt and not thinking straight. Can
you give her sspace?”
Yanis looked ready to explode, and Stephanie worried he might say or do something he’d regret. But the word
“hurt” seemed to bring him back.
He glanced at Allison and slowly let go. Seeing this, Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief. She stepped forward and
said, “Lettalk to Allison alone, okay?”
It was the first tStephanie had seen Allison push back against Yanis like this. Even when she'd talked about
resisting the Lewis family, it was never about Yanis himself.
In the next moment, Stephanie’s mind flashed back to an earlier twhen she'd sensed a rift between Allison
and Yanis. Her eyes narrowed with concern as she looked at Allison.
Yanis stood up and glanced at Stephanie. For a moment, his eyes cleared, but he didn’t say anything. He just
turned and walked down the hallway.
Stephanie turned to the nervous medical assistant. “Get her to the ward,” she said quietly.
Yanis’s presence had been so intense that neither the director nor the medical assistant had dared to speak.
Now that he was gone, the director quickly said, “Get Ms. Pierce to the ward.”
With the Lewis family, everyone knew they had to be careful. Even if the rest of the Lewises didn’t like Allison,
they knew she was Yanis’s favorite.
Henry and Sebastian had cto the hospital with them, and they had left shortly after.
Now there were only Stephanie and Allison in the war. She took Allison's hand and asked softly, “What happened
between you and Yanis?” They'd been fine before, and the sudden change was surprising.

“And who's Lilith?” she asked again. Earlier, Stephanie had overheard Yanis on the phone, saying he was going to
hand Lilith over to the police.
Stephanie had never heard of anyone named Lilith in Long Harbor recently. All she knew was that Sharon had
been busy trying to set Yanis up on blind dates lately.
‘Could Lilith be one of Yanis’s blind dates?’ Stephanie couldn't believe it. ‘She’s just met him and was already
making a play for Allison? What does she think she is doing?‘
