Lila could hear Kieran respond softly.

She made her way downstairs, hearing the sound of a girl bidding her farewells.

From the staircase, Lila saw the girl, dressed in a white sweater and a long black skirt, walking toward the entrance.

She slipped on a long white down jacket before pushing open the door and leaving.

Lila continued down the stairs, but the heavy weight on her chest seemed to settle even deeper, making it harder to breathe.

"Us?" Lila raised an eyebrow.

He chuckled and set the cup she had just sipped from on the table.

Lila flinched at the title, feeling a flush of awkwardness.

"Do I need to attend as your companion?"

Kieran raised a brow. "Attend as Mrs. Morgan."
