Sebastian took the cigarette and took another long drag on it. Whatever he’d been expecting to come out of his sister’s mouth, it wasn’t that. The puffs of smoke came out of him in staccato clouds as he coughed on his drag. ”You caught them doing what?” He demanded, though it was obvious he’d heard her loud and clear.
He knew there had to have been stolen moments that Elsie and Kirke had partook in over the past few years — didn’t every young couple? — but for them to have gotten caught by Lucinda and live to tell the tale? Especially Kirke…
Sebastian left his mouth hanging open like a codfish as he processed this new piece of information. Finally, he said: ”And what did Kirke have to sacrifice to come out of that unscathed?” There was more eagerness in his voice than he meant for there to be. The fact that he didn’t try to hide it either spoke to his weary state of mind.
