Elowen chuckled softly, covering her mouth with her hand, and then cast a lingering glance at Finnian, her eyes filled with an unmistakable invitation.

Even though Amara had long given up on Finnian, hearing this made her deeply uncomfortable.

No matter how little she might care for Finnian someday, their marriage was a fact, and watching Elowen brazenly flirt with Finnian right in front of her would be intolerable to anyone.

"Why wouldn't it be?" Elowen shot back immediately. "You're just being overly sensitive."
