Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 230

Keith saw her tears and was genuinely startled.

"Alright, alright, it's my fault. Please don't cry. I promise I won't upset you next time, okay?"

His voice was a bit shaky, betraying his nerves. Amara nodded, wiping away her tears. That was when she noticed Louis, Cedric, and the rest of the crew standing nearby, watching her and Keith. Instantly, she felt self-conscious.

She gently pushed Keith away and addressed them, "Mr. Zade, Louis, I'm really sorry for causing trouble today."

Cedric and Louis immediately jumped in to reassure her, saying as long as she was okay, it wasn’t a bother at all.

While they exchanged pleasantries, Finnian stood nearby, observing. He had climbed up the ladder just a bit earlier and had caught the moment Keith was holding Amara tightly. His pupils contracted, his face remaining expressionless as he watched them, oblivious to Will's attempts to talk to him.

Seeing this, Will gave up trying to engage Finnian and moved over to Amara's side, asking, "Mrs. Sullivan, I mean Ms. Sullivan, are you alright now?"

Amara snapped back to reality, realizing Finnian and Will were there, and quickly replied, "I'm fine now, thank you so much."

She slowly walked over to Finnian and said, "I really owe you one, Mr. Everly. I don't know what I would have done without you today. I must make it up to you sometime."

"Yeah, as long as you're okay."

Once they were up, Finnian noticed Amara's hair was a mess, with bits of dirt in it. She looked quite disheveled, though he imagined he probably didn’t look much better himself.

"You should go clean up and get some rest," he suggested.
