“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

out.

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

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

“Isn’t it obvious? Because it’s terrifying! I’m not some heartless playboy like you!” Hertha snapped back.
