Prescott didn't have enough time to hide his reaction-a flash of distaste crossed his face, his brows drawing together before he could smooth out his expression.

Richard, however, greeted them with a broad smile. "Isadora, it's been a while since you've seen your brother, hasn't it? He just got back from Solstrand last week."

Prescott now chimed in, completely unbothered. "I figured you weren't into those kinds of trips, so I didn't ask you to come along this time. I hope you don't mind, Isadora."

Isadora let out a short laugh.
