“Of course you can react,” Brook replied, his voice sharp as winter frost. “But we can also ask you to leave. I’m serious, Corrie. If you don’t want to be here, just go. No one’s forcing you to stay.”

Corrie’s face transformed into a battlefield of emotions before she finally managed to wrestle them into submission.

Elyse, feeding off Corrie’s barely-contained rage like a shark scenting blood, felt her own satisfaction rise.

Elyse waved off the concern with a dismissive laugh that cut through the air. “Oh, please. Four bottles is nothing.”
