Hazel had complicated feelings toward Sebastian.

No matter what had happened, they had once been best friends. She gave him a nod in acknowledgment.

Hidden Bites, Sebastian hadn’t seen her again.

He hadn’t intended to leave without a word, but the biggest reason was that he didn’t have her number.

Gabriel’s sharp gaze lingered on the two of them, his guard instantly up. Sebastian greeted him first.“Mr. Campbell, we meet again.”

Gabriel’s tone was indifferent.“Mm.”

His cold eyes barely skimmed over Hazel before he turned to Sebastian.“Move.”
