Isaac didn’t respond, focusing instead on drinking in silence. His bottle was empty in a few swigs, and he reached for Violet’s. She figured he had drunk enough, so no matter how much he insisted, she wouldn’t let him take it. Soon, the two of them were chasing each other around the top of Glimmering Tower, the earlier tension forgotten.

Violet never did tell Carissa about their conversation, though she hadn’t promised to keep Isaac’s secret. He didn’t want people to know, and had treated her as a good friend when he confided in her. It wasn’t her place to spread rumors and stir up trouble–that wasn’t how people of the martial arts world behaved..

But lately, Isaac had been seen lingering around Silverstone Estate, drawing the attention of the Garrison Unit.

Max told Carissa, who found it strange. Why did Isaac keep going to that place? Did he know someone there?

Later that evening, when they sat down to eat, Carissa couldn’t help but ask, “Isaac, what have you been busy with lately?”

Isaac looked up. “Nothing, just wandering around.”

“Around Silverstone Estate?” she pressed.

Isaac’s gaze shot over to Violet, who froze and quickly defended herself, “I haven’t told her anything.”

Carissa studied the two of them–one looked angry, the other looked innocent. It almost seemed like they were hiding something.
