"Let go, I can handle this myself," she said icily.

"I know you're skilled in first aid," the man glanced at her coolly. "But bandaging your left hand with your right? What are you trying to prove?"

Ludwik, imposing as ever, leaned down and blew on her wound, an entirely subconscious gesture.

His sharp gaze flicked to her. "Why bring her up?"

Whitney bit her tongue, deciding it wasn't her place to pry into the affairs of the Lippert family.

But she had seen something, and if Thea recognized her, Whitney had a nagging feeling that things could turn sour...

"What's on your mind? Why start to say something and then stop?" Ludwik pressed, his gaze intense.
