Keira didnāt understand what everyone was thinking, but apparently, the situation had already escalated.
The next thing she knew, her phone was ringing nonstopācall after call, all urging her to apologize.
Keira was baffled. Apologize for what exactly?
It wasnāt like she and Erin werenāt just acting. But even if it wasnāt an act and something had actually happened, would she really need to apologize?
By dinnertime, the entire table was awkwardly quiet, with everyone sneaking glances at her.
Even Uncle Olsen eventually spoke up. "Keira, you should apologize to Miss Martin. Itās the right thing to do."
Keira was perplexed.
She gave him a long, silent look, then sighed and lowered her head.
Charles, sitting nearby, looked even more uneasy. "Keira, did you really fall out with her? She even blocked me today!"
Keira marveled at how committed Erin was to this act. Sheād even managed to drag Charles into it.
Keira cleared her throat. "Donāt worry about it. Iām just... exhausted."
Her words brought the entire room to a standstill. No one dared say another word.
Charles looked as if he was about to cry. "If you two really fall out, what about me? She already told me she wants to break up with me! Are you seriously okay with that?"
Keira massaged her temples, exasperated. "Fine. Iāll go apologize. Happy?"
Grabbing her keys, she drove straight to the Martin family home.
With Erinās grandfather and brother both out of town, Erin was the only one left in the Clance residence.
Erin opened the door with a smug look. "What? You finally realized you were wrong?"
"Yes, yes. Itās my fault. Happy now?" Keira said, clearly worn out.
Erinās expression changed in an instant. "What do you mean
āitās my faultā?
Either youāre wrong, or youāre not! Donāt just say it like that!"
Keira stared at her, dumbfounded. Erinās temper tantrum was so convincing she couldnāt tell if this was still part of the plan. "Fine. Iām sorry, okay? Can we just drop this now? Honestly, this whole thing feels ridiculous."
That only seemed to pour gasoline on the fire.
Erinās eyes widened, her voice trembling as tears welled up. "Ridiculous? You think Iām ridiculous? Where was this energy when we were kids? Huh?!"
Keira was dumbfounded.
"I didnāt mean it like that," she said, trying to keep her cool. "But if thatās how you want to take it, I canāt stop you."
"Aaaargh!"
Erin was practically hopping mad. "Keera Olsen, do you even hear yourself right now? You sound like a walking list of top-ten worst things to say in an argument! Are you
trying
to piss me off?"
Keira blinked at her in confusion. "What? Iām just saying youāre being unreasonable. Look, canāt we just move past this?"
Erin glared at her, furious. "Move past this? Keera, Iām telling you right nowāweāre done! Donāt you dare come looking for me again!"
And with that, Erin slammed the door shut.
Keira stood there, stunned.
Wasnāt this... just a little too dramatic?
Who would even believe theyād fallen out over something this trivial?
Rubbing her temples, she took out her phone and called Erin. The call wouldnāt go through. Sheād been blocked.
Keira was dumbfounded.
This was supposed to be an act... right?
Why would Erin block her?
She sent Erin a message on social media instead:
Stop messing around. No oneās going to believe weād fall out over something this small.
Erin replied instantly:
Small?! Are you kidding me?! Iām seriously mad this time!
Keira stared at the screen, more confused than ever.
She hesitated, then sent a simple question mark.
The response she got was a notification:
Youāve been blocked.
What the hell?
Her jaw clenched. She was just about to knock on the door again when it swung open. Erin stormed out, climbed into a waiting car, and completely ignored her.
Keira called out, "Where are you going?"
The driver answered instead. "Miss Martin said sheās leaving Clance for now. Heading back home."
Without waiting for a response, the car pulled away.
Keira didnāt know what to say.
She still couldnāt figure out whether theyād really fallen out or not.
And why did it feel like Erin wasnāt acting at all? Was she actually upset?
As she stood there, lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang.
The number was unfamiliar.
Frowning, she hesitated before answering.
A robotic voice spoke on the other end: "Rabbit, I heard you and Fox had a fight?"
Keira was surprised.
She lowered her voice. "Itās nothing. Just a minor disagreement."
"Heh. Fox is being dramatic as usual. Rabbit, why not join us instead? Weāre all good sisters hereāno drama like that."
Keira blinked, more confused than ever. "Sorry, but Iām not interested. Erin and I didnāt really fight."
The voice chuckled. "Sure doesnāt look that way from here. If I were Fox, Iād be furious. No way sheās not mad at you."
Keira hung up, her head spinning.
Erinās scheme... had it actually worked?
