““Are you all right? Oh, God, Lila.”
“I’m all right. Luke told you I was all right?”
“Yes, but . . .” She released Lila just enough to look down into her face. “She attacked you.”
“Not exactly.”
“She had a knife. Oh God! She cut you! You’re bleeding.”
“No.” Lila cupped Julie’s face so their eyes met. “She scratched me, and Luke fixed it. And I knocked her on her ass.”
“She must’ve followed you from the gallery.”
“I don’t know. I think she was probably trolling the neighborhood, hoping to get lucky. She did—up until I knocked her on her ass. Plus, for the cost of a nice white shirt, she gave me more than I gave her.”
“People always do,” Julie stated. “I think you should go stay with your parents for a few weeks. Alaska’s too far away for her to follow.”
