Symeon narrowed his eyes as he observed Casey, the woman standing before him.

Meanwhile, Casey stood in place, looking surprised. What did Symeon just say? The time he spent with Amanda? What does that mean? These two don’t actually have a romantic history, do they?

As the notion crossed her mind, her emotions swirled in a complex mix, leaving her unable to describe her feelings.
