“Seriously, Hertha? This is what you dragged me out for?” Alaric asked with a raised brow, his casual attire contrasting sharply with the urgency in his voice.

“What else? My bestie gets bulldozed by that jerk Lysander, and you think I’m just gonna let it slide?” Hertha retorted, her fiery spirit matching her fiery hair.

“If you hadn’t dragged her to that blind date, she wouldn’t be in this mess,” Alaric pointed

He knew Hertha was kicking herself over the whole situation, yet he couldn’t resist poking at her sore spot.

Hertha’s breathing deepened, and with a flicker of her eyelids, she shot him a glare that could freeze hell over. “I get jittery on dates, okay? She’s my one and only best friend. Who else was I supposed to bring along, you?”

“Why would you get jittery?” Alaric pressed, his tone turning serious.
