Kalista Ross

Kalista silently handed the dog’s leash back to Kole as it began to whine and demand hiss attention. “I don’t know where that came from,” Kole whispered. Kalista couldn’t tell whether he was speaking to her or to himself, so she stayed silent until he spoke again, this time directly to her. “I’m sorry you had to see that. I never wanted to put you in the middle of this.”

Kalista shook her head slightly to show him that she didn’t care much for what had gone on between him and Dylan. “If you’re talking about this family issue with Dylan, trust me, I’ve seen worse.” Kalista stated, attempting to make her comment seem light, but her voice dropped at the end, hinting at the darkness of what she was truly referring to.

Kalista was glad Kole didn’t seem to pick up on her comment as he spoke again. “I don’t know what I’m doing. If he’s gone home…I can’t. I’m as good as dead.” Kalista nearly sighed in relief at the comment. She would have gone back to the mansion with Kole, but the truth was that she had absolutely no desire to. A majority of the time, Kalista hated being around the Genovese. Not many of them seemed to enjoy her presence either, and most of them had good reason to. Kalista was also greatly relieved that she would not have to go back to the place that she had murdered a man not 24 hours ago. She normally had a 24 hour buffer period for murders unless otherwise requested; it was one of her many rituals. Kalista blinked herself out of her own thoughts and nodded again at Kole, not knowing whether he was disappointed or elated that he would not have to go back to the mansion.

Kalista suddenly heard Kole’s breath pick up, as if on the verge of another panic attack; however it was not quite as quick as a full panic attack so Kalista did nothing except to keep her eye on him. As Kole grabbed his phone out of his pocket, Kalista made sure to keep Kole’s privacy. She only saw that the message was to Jonathon and nothing more. It would have been easy for Kalista to watch what Kole was typing; however, she preferred to let him have his privacy and tell her what was going on himself. Kalista guessed that he was telling Jonathon about Dylan’s new-found knowledge of the explosion, but judging by the look on Dylan’s face the last time she had seen him, he wouldn’t be telling anyone until he had the chance to wrap his head around it.

Kole looked back up at Kalista and she knew exactly what he was about to say because he had said it to her at least twice before. "I understand if you want to take off. It's selfish of me to make you stay here, or to ask you to stick around."

Kalista tilted her head slightly to one side and raised an eyebrow. “Ya know, Kole, you keep saying that.” She paused for a moment and then continued, “You really think I’m the kind of person to just leave a man behind?” Kalista let her serious tone settle in before cracking a smile to let him know she was only joking. She tsked mockingly before continuing in a joking tone, “I really thought that you’d think better of me.” She chuckled before looking down at Kole’s dog. Kalista scratched behind his ears and, though he did not move from Kole’s side, he raised his head to lick Kalista’s hand. Kalista chuckled softly and then looked back at Kole. “Besides, if I had to guess, I’d say your dog has a new favorite.”
