SERAPHINA’S POV
Ethan’s door opened before I’d finished knocking.
“Sera?” He blinked, surprise rippling across his face before his features tightened with concern. “Hey.”
“Hi,” I said, my voice wavering thinner than I meant, betraying nerves I tried to mask.
“What are you—” He stopped himself as his eyes swept my face, and then he stepped aside. “Never mind, come in.”’
I offered a brittle smile and followed him in. “Thanks.”
Ethan raised a brow at something behind me. “Oh, look who has her own escort.”
The car from Nightfang idled quietly in the driveway outside.
I shrugged. “Kieran insisted. You know…with the rogue attacks and all that.”
I didn’t mention that Kieran wanted to drive me himself, and this was the compromise we settled on.
Ethan nodded. “Good. If he let you out on your own after all that, he would have me to contend with.”
I rolled my eyes. “Please, you’re too busy with your engage—”
“Is that Sera?!”
