Donnelly exchanged light pleasantries with Diego, but his focus shifted as he caught sight of Corrine seated calmly in her chair. A knowing smile crept across his face, warming his sharp features.

He moved past Diego without hesitation and strode over to her. "Well, well, what's got you here today?" he asked with an air of easy familiarity.
