When Elysia agreed, Holden couldn’t help but smile, a wave of joy bubbling up inside him. He knew she wouldn’t just throw away their friendship like that.

Javier watched his back, looking skeptical. “You really think this guy can pull it off? He seems so unreliable.

“Can’t say for sure,” Mike replied, stepping back and giving a polite nod to the two waiting outside before shutting the door.

Leading him down the path, Mike took Holden to Elysia’s small courtyard. But when Holden caught sight of Elysia sitting by the stone table, he paused mid–step.

“Elysia, are you really going to be this distant?” he pressed.

“We’re nothing more than ordinary friends. You helped me once, but I’ve repaid that favor. We’re even now,” she replied coolly, her eyes not wavering.
