Lily glanced up from where she was nestled against Ethan, his arm securely wrapped around her while his other hand continued typing on his laptop. Her voice was soft but insistent.

“Ethan, can I go now?”

Without pausing his work, Ethan leaned down and pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Just a few more minutes, love.”

She sighed, her brows knitting together. “You’ve been saying that for almost an hour. I need to get to the Miller mansion.”

Lily chuckled at the rare vulnerability in his voice. But her laughter faded when she caught the faint flicker of fear in his expression. His eyes, usually confident and sharp, were clouded with worry.

“Ethan,” she said softly, cupping his cheek with her palm. “What’s wrong?”

He closed his eyes briefly, leaning into her touch. “I just… I hate the idea of you being there with those people. They’re heartless, Lily. What if something happens? Like at the banquet…”

She smiled reassuringly. “I won’t be alone. Taylor will be with me, and I can handle myself. You know that.”

“Neither do I, Lily admitted with a small shrug. “But this is important for our plan. You know I have to go.”

Ethan let out a slow breath, his shoulders sagging slightly. “I know. And that’s the only reason I’m letting you go. Just… promise me you’ll be careful.”

“I will,” she said softly before leaning in to kiss his cheek.
