Finn walked over and gave Dorian's shoulder a reassuring pat. "Inviting Jessica over was a bit much, you know. Elysia's got every right to be upset."

"She doesn't want to see you right now, so just give her some space. After the ceremony, you two can sit down and have a proper chat."

"What are you talking about, Finn?"

Dorian stared at him in disbelief. Finn was never one to mince his words or play the diplomat, yet here he was, talking sense and all. Had he turned over a new leaf?
