Her gaze lingered for a second, her expression unreadable. I couldn't tell if it was suspicion or just curiosity, but it only added to the uncomfortable knot in my stomach. "Smells great," Scott said, oblivious to the tension thickening the air as he pulled out a chair, already reaching for the freshly baked bread Elara had set out.

Every bite felt like a struggle, my mind spinning with everything that had happened and everything I was trying to ignore.
