Dam let out a deep breath, searching her gaze for any doubt. He realized then that she was so much stronger than he was. At least in this. The door pushed open again as Harriet reentered. She paused.

“Do I need to give you two some space…?” she asked, brow raising.

Liam cleared his throat, realizing just how close they’d been. Elaine took a step back, tucking her shortened hair behind her ear. “No, just talking,” she said.

“Right. You might have the wrong–”

“Owner of New Dawn. Heading to the Wolves of Newcastle Conference in the North Fanshire Pack?”

“Oh, well, that would be me,” Elaine said.

The woman nodded. “Edward should have sent you confirmation this morning. You have your own private flight.”

Elaine’s jaw dropped. “Wait…my own…I get to ride in a private plane?”
