Sylas and Cassarae walked out of the room together what must have been the next day.
Judging by their body language, it was hard to tell that anything of significance had happened at all.
Sylas had a focused gaze that seemed capable of boring through a wall. And Cassarae, having long since regained her footing, had likewise returned to her usual self.
If there was anything wrong at all… it was that they were cordial, too cordial.
However, by the time they made it downstairs, even that oddity was gone. Cassarae was already making snide remarks, and Sylas, though focused, had his own quippy retorts belied by his stone-cold face.
Well, as perfectly as they masked such things, the numerous sets of eyes that landed on them all at the same time when they finally did make their presences known were hard to ignore.
Isolde and Cedric sat beside Paul and Geraldene. The two middle-aged couples seemed lost in some idle chit-chat as was only natural for two close family friends, but that didn’t stop them from perking up the instant there was a change. Enjoy new stories from freewebnovel
The four seemed to have brought the Twin Moon Healers into the fold, and maybe the greatest oddity of the lobby was that Olivia and Morgan were off in their own little corner, discussing something quite animatedly.
But it didn’t matter which group it was, they all looked at the same time.
Olivia wore a sly grin on her face.
Geraldene wore a knowing smile.
Isolde seemed one part concerned, and another part prideful for some reason.
The two fathers had some of the most reserved reactions, and Cedric actually looked quite stern. Paul, on the other hand, looked more like he was pretending to be stern than anything else.
There was a great focused attention that swung onto all of them.
And yet Sylas and Cassarae might as well have not noticed at all given their reactions. Or, they would have seemed not to if Cassarae hadn’t spoken a moment later.
"What are you all staring at?"
She crossed her arms over her chest.
Knowing her daughter well, Geraldene’s grin only grew wider. This was precisely why she could never tell whether her daughter was experienced or not. That reaction right there.
She simply didn’t embarrass easily.
Even when the group of them stood and waited outside the door for them just a few days ago, embarrassment wasn’t at the forefront of Cassarae’s emotions.
Instead, it was when she was teased by her mother for being a virgin that she had the biggest reaction.
"Rae, you need to take better care of yourself. Two days?"
Cassarae tilted her head to the side as though she had no idea what her mother was talking about.
