Amelia still stood in the doorway, her rabbit ears flopping forward as her thoughts raced in panic.
What was Kai doing there? How had he found her?!
Then, Sera's voice rang from inside the apartment.
"Amelia! What's taking you so long?!"
Amelia flinched slightly. "Oh no…"
Before she could say a word, Sera peeked out in her black cat-themed nightgown, a satin tail swishing behind her. She came to a sudden halt when she spotted Kai standing at the door.
Her eyes widened. "Oh."
Her gaze flicked from Amelia to Kai and then back again. Understanding came then, slowly, a mischievous grin curling on her lips. She leaned close to Amelia and then said very loudly, "Looks like I left the shower on. Oops."
She winked at Amelia, who was still frozen in place, and without waiting for a response, Sera turned around and ran down to her own apartment, her laughter echoing faintly as the door clicked shut behind her.
Kai tilted his head, watching Sera vanish with genuine amusement.
