Bria clenched her teeth, her frustration palpable, yet she could only watch as Ewing went to find Sarah.

Ewing likely shared all the details with Sarah. Sarah’s satisfaction was clear, radiating confidence with every glance. She even shot Bria a smug look, which did nothing but fuel Bria’s disdain.
