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

Whitney stiffened, her slender palm curling into a fist. She glanced at him, quickly diverting her gaze and thought sarcastically, Whitney, don't be so naive. All these tender gestures, he's surely done the same with Florence, or perhaps Elaine. He's nothing but a heartbreaker.

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.
