Maximus:
I have never seen Emmet lose his calm like this before.
He didn't even listen to us and grabbed his wine bottle to head out of the mansion.
"I'll go after him," Kaye gave me a hand gesture to stay behind. Since Kaye had been going through his own messed-up phase of the curse, he didn't want to be around Helanie for too long. It would be a disaster if he attacked her.
As for Emmet, he needed someone with him in case he forgot everything and went missing.
As Kaye and Emmet left the mansion, my attention went back to Helanie. She was standing alone in the hallway while Jessica was all over Norman.
The awkward look on Helanie's face was no mystery. She had probably realized that she acted on her feelings.
Now what kind of feelings—that's what concerned me.
And then there was Norman. He was holding her hand, not letting her walk away, and staring at her, while Jessica was clearly more interested in talking to him than letting him get distracted.
But I was bothered.
