Charmaine quickly covered her neck. “Mr. Emyr, have mercy! Let me handle this myself!”

He snorted coldly. “If I have mercy, I’ll have even more reason to pinch you!”

Emyr glanced at her, noting how her flattery seemed to improve by the day.

He composed himself, his deep eyes locking onto hers as if he could see right through her.

“Maybe,” she admitted softly. “But it’s not sympathy. I just feel like a fool.”

“But that’s just it–people who refuse to see you will never see you.”

Emyr’s gaze darkened slightly at her dim expression.

After a moment of thought, he spoke in an unusually comforting tone, a rare attempt to console her. “Don’t dwell on the past. Being foolish once doesn’t mean you’ll be foolish forever.”
