Ethan watched everything with a frown, unimpressed by Waldo’s behavior. Although he felt nothing more than indifference toward Gracie, he could not ignore her being harassed.

From the sidelines, Brenna shared Ethan’s disapproval. Seeing Waldo’s shameless flirting made her want to teach him a lesson.
