As Reid called out, "Miss Mira," everyone in the room, including Jaime and several elders, turned their attention to Mirabella. Their expressions were a mix of surprise, curiosity, and appraisal. Jaime, in particular, seemed more intrigued by Mirabella than even the elders were. Just two days ago, he'd gone out of his way to visit the Davis family estate, only to find she wasn't there.
