Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Elspeth's calm reaction reassured Aldea. Regaining her composure, she broke into a bright smile to hide the awkwardness in her eyes. "It's an accident. No worries."

Jethro did not catch anything while standing outside of the glass door. He strode to Elspeth's side, sliding his arm along her shoulders so naturally. "Elspeth, I've been calling you these days, but why didn't you pick up?"
