"Hey, you," she purred, her voice a low, intimate melody that was unmistakably only for him. "Finally calling me? I was starting to think all those pretty Warladies-in-training had made you forget about me."
That alone, the way she spoke to him, how happy she was that he was calling her, was all the proof anyone needed that Sage was really Zaeryn's girlfriend.
The collective intake of breath from the group was audible. This wasn't just an acquaintance. This was familiar.h
Leia's smug expression was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a mask of rigid shock.
Zaeryn's grin was blinding. "Never, babe," he replied smoothly. "Just had to... prove a point." He angled his wrist, turning the projection so Sage could see the room. "I'm at my new classmate's house. Say hi to everyone. Leia's here, by the way, your friend's sister, she says."
Sage's gaze flickered over the group, her smile turning sharp and knowing. "Oh? At your friend's house?"
