Kaiden and his group left the Ashborn manor in two separate groups.
Kaiden was flanked by his girls while Vespera walked in another direction with a group of her guards forming a protective perimeter around her. She took Julia, Naira, and her mother with her toward the sleek black vehicles waiting in the driveway. Lux was supposed to go with them, too, but she was clinging to Aria too much, so they agreed to take the girl in their own vehicle instead.
No one wanted to tear the little sister away from Aria now that she finally got to spend some time with her.
Currently, Lux was holding Aria's hand and hopped excitedly next to her with a grin plastered across her face. She kept glancing up at her big sister and then ahead toward the path leading them away from the Ashborn mansion, looking as if she couldn't believe this was actually happening.
Eating out with Aria, Kaiden, and everyone else felt like a dream.
