"What do you mean Dianna warned you before she died—and you still haven't told Kalix?" Gina's voice rose in disbelief, her eyes wide. "Winter, do you realize how serious this is? Someone is literally after you, and you're pretending it's nothing?"
Winter sat across from her, tension written all over her face. She had come to Gina's place because the weight of her thoughts was becoming too much to carry alone. Kalix had enough on his plate, and Sean... well, she didn't trust him to not escalate it immediately. But Gina—she'd listen.
"I know how it sounds," Winter said quietly, rubbing her hands together. "But Kalix is already juggling too much. I don't want to dump another vague threat on him—especially when I don't even know if it's real."
She leaned back into the couch, her eyes clouded with worry. "Dianna said someone was after me… but she didn't say who. And now she's dead. For all I know, it could have been a misunderstanding or fear getting the best of her."
