It was the first time Mitchell had ever seen Effie's face so close, and he was struck by how delicate her features were, her porcelain skin making her look even more striking. But it was her eyes that caught him off guard-a clarity and resolve in them, like stars shining with unwavering light.

Effie fixed him with a cold, distant stare. "Mr. Lloyd, I don't think there's anything left for us to talk about. If that's all, I'll be on my way."
