The atmosphere turned tense in an

Bartlett clearly didn't want any conflicts, so he replied with a smile, âIt's the least I could do. We've be
With that, Bartlett chuckled at his own joke, waved, and leisurely walked out.
No one saw him the moment he exited the room; his eyes were dull, like a night sky devoid of stars

Baber cuddled up to Ellinor, looked over at Theo, his

âWhat did you just call her?â
