"Seraphina's already on her way back. I bet the Donahues caught wind of it."

Elijah raised an eyebrow. "And so?"

Isaac was eager to accelerate their plans, and Elijah had no objections, merely stating, "You vanished for nearly half an hour during the dinner. Where did you go?"

Isaac knew Elijah had eyes on him at all times. But that half-hour was a mystery.
