After some lighthearted teasing, they finally seemed to remember I was still standing there and glanced up

Amber shot me a sharp glare, her voice biting. "You cursed child, this is all your fault! It's because of you that Carter got hurt!"

At this point, I had gotten a good sense of Amber's fiery personality. I played along, acting innocent and deflecting the blame. "But I didn't expect Wisteria to attack me like that-I'm a victim here too!"

Amber turned to Dominic, and when he caught her fierce gaze, he instinctively rubbed his nose, trying to avoid the confrontation.
