Julian's sudden presence and his horrified, confused questions were the final straw. The panic, the shock of the attack, and the raw fear for Gabriel's life all erupted into a furious, blinding rage.
I snapped away from the seat and rushed straight toward Julian. My hands were shaking, and my voice was sharp.
"What happened? I'll tell you what happened!" I spat, pointing an accusing finger at him. "Your crazy ex-girlfriend, Sasha, showed up here to check on your dearest bestie, Lucy, and she completely lost her mind when she saw me."
I gestured wildly toward Gabriel, who was still trying to staunch the blood flow with a scrap of fabric. "She almost killed me! She grabbed a weapon and came at me. If Gabriel hadn't literally thrown himself in front of me, I would be the one bleeding out on your expensive marble floor right now!"
