The grandmother looked between the three of them, confusion creasing her brow as the tension in the room thickened. "Wait a minute..." she said slowly, her eyes moving from one face to another.
"Do you all know each other?"
Silence filled the air.
Then Adrian muttered, pointing toward Ash, "He's the one I was telling you about."
Her eyes widened as she turned sharply toward Ash. "What? So all this time, the one making my sweet boy cry is you, Bunny?"
Ash blinked, utterly confused. "Wait-what?"
Before he could say another word, she slipped off one of her sandals and pointed at Ash while glancing at Adrian. "Didn't I just promise you I'd chase him with my slipper until he confessed his sins?"
Ash's eyes went wide. "Grandma, what, why are you...?
But before he could finish, she swung the slipper. Ash yelped and darted behind Lucien. "Grandma! Why do you want to beat me? I don't even know what's going on!"
