"When did that happen? Why would hermano banish you? I haven't heard anything about it," Zoe exclaimed, unable to believe her brother would do something like that without a reason to the person he knew she considered a brother and her closest friend.
"Vee made him do it..." Nick said.
Before Zoe could recover from the shocked gasp that escaped her, he continued.
"I made the mistake of confessing to her about the old crush I had on her when we first met. I never expected her to get angry and accuse me of ruining our friendship. I wasn't asking her to like me. I was only being honest and letting her know because I planned to start dating someone else, but she blew everything out of proportion."
Zoe couldn't believe what she was hearing. She massaged her forehead.
"Did this happen while we were at Grim Pack?" she asked, suddenly realizing it explained why Viola had gone missing at exactly the same time Nick had disappeared from the hall.
