The triplets exchanged glances again, having one of their silent conversations.

“She has a point,” Liam admitted reluctantly.

“I don’t like it,” Levi grumbled.

Lucas sighed deeply. “If we agree to this, you stay in bed. We’ll bring Leo up to the infirmary under guard.”

Hope blossomed in my chest. “So you’ll do it?”

I nodded quickly. “Thank you.”

“Don’t thank us yet,” Levi muttered. “This could be a terrible idea.”

“I’ll go make the arrangements,” Lucas said, standing. “Liam, stay with Hazel. Levi, find Matilda and bring her back here.”
