She frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Oh, I just thought it might be too tiring for him to take you all the way home. Why not find a nearby hotel instead? It’ll be easier for him to take care of you.”
As soon as I said that, Emily’s glass shattered in anger. She stood up suddenly and shouted, “Caleb, I’m warning you, don’t cross the line!”
“There’s nothing improper between Grant and me. Don’t accuse us! Apologize to both of us now!”
Grant quickly stepped forward, acting calm and trying to hold her back. “Emily, don’t be mad. Brother-in-law didn’t mean it.”
“He’s just filthy-minded. That’s why he sees everything as dirty.”
I let out a short, cold laugh. “You’re right. I am filthy-minded. But I’ve never seen a ‘pure’ brother-sister relationship feeding each other drinks mouth-to-mouth.”
That struck a nerve. Emily pointed at me, her face red with anger.
“Caleb, you’re crazy! Fine, didn’t you call me dirty? Then I’ll show you dirty!”
She turned and grabbed Grant’s hand. “Come on, let’s go get a room.”
Grant tried to calm things down. “Emily, don’t get upset. Don’t do something you’ll regret later.”
He said that, but his hand still held onto hers. Seeing her still angry, he looked at me.
