Brynlee noticed her mother's mood was off. She looked up at Finnian and asked, "Did you make Mom mad again?"
Finnian's gaze flickered. "I might have done something wrong that upset her."
Brynlee poked his cheek with her little finger. "It's definitely because you took too long to get here. That's why she's mad."
Unable to explain the complex truth to his daughter, Finnian simply carried her into his room.
Meanwhile, Celine stepped out of the bathroom, toweling off her damp hair. When she saw Kaia looking utterly deflated and noticed Brynlee was missing, she jumped. "Kaia, where's Brynlee? She was just sleeping here."
Kaia looked up at her friend. "Finnian is right next door. She's with him."
"What? Why is he here?" Celine gasped in surprise.
"Who knows," Kaia replied with a bitter scoff.
Celine narrowed her eyes, assessing the situation. "I bet he found out about you and my cousin. The moment he heard you were coming to Switzerland, his radar went off. He's totally here to sabotage any progress between you two."
"He wouldn't stoop that low," Kaia murmured, though doubt crept in.
