Lilian finished freshening up and stepped out of the bathroom in her loungewear just as a knock sounded at the bedroom door.
She opened it to find Eric standing there with a warm glass of milk. “I know today took a lot out of you, so I made this for you,” he said, walking in and setting the glass on the table in the seating area.
Lilian smiled at him. “I didn’t know you had such a thoughtful side. Whoever ends up marrying you is going to be very lucky.”
“Please,” Eric snorted, sitting down on the sofa. “Compared to how Sebastian treats you, I’m an amateur. That man handles you like you’re made of glass. He’s terrified you’ll melt if he holds too tight or shatter if he lets go.”
Lilian sat across from him, shooting him a playful, suspicious glare. “You didn’t come in here to be his lobbyist, did you?”
Eric maintained a gentle smile. “What’s going on in that head of yours? Why would I act as his spokesperson? We’re family; I don’t make a habit of siding against my own. I’m mainly here to ask what your plans are. Do you want to head back home, or stay and look around for a few days? The chaos is basically over. Sebastian can handle the cleanup himself now, so you don’t have to worry anymore.”
“Who said I was worried?” Lilian muttered. “I’m not worried about him at all.”
Eric chuckled. “Is that so? Then I wonder who that little girl was who caught a flight the second she heard the news, ready to demand an explanation, and rushed into the line of fire without a second thought for her own safety?”
Lilian rolled her eyes. “Fine, laugh all you want. So what if I was? Is it so wrong to care? He is my fiancé, after all.”
“Oh, so he’s your fiancé again?” Eric teased. “Back at the ballroom, you were pretty adamant about dumping him.”
“I was angry, okay?” Lilian said softly. “Besides, he shouldn’t have kept me in the dark. If we’re supposed to spend our lives together, shouldn’t honesty be the baseline? I’ve never been a fan of guessing games; it’s exhausting.”
