As she entered, their gazes snapped to her, intense and seemingly jubilant, with a trace of excitemem that was hard to miss.

Milly furrowed her brow, confused. “What’s wrong? Something feels off.”

Jonathan appeared unconvinced and pressed, “Are you not upset? Don’t you feel like crying? If you need to, my shoulder is here for you.”

Milly shook her head, still baffled. “Not at all.”
