"No, I'm not talking. I don't need to, and I don't want to."

Vespera's rejection was firm and decisive.

She shoved against Dominic's tall frame and stood up from her seat. "I need to use the restroom. Please move."

Dominic didn't budge, his body angled sideways.

He leaned against the table with one hand, his other resting casually on the back of her chair.

His gaze darkened with frustration, lingering on her for a long moment. "Fine. If you won't talk, then I'll speak. You just listen."

"It's fine. There are no monsters in the bathroom. I don't need an escort," she said sharply, trying to free her hand.

Dominic's grip tightened, his voice hoarse. "Monsters or not, I'll be there. Always."

Vespera's face remained impassive.
