Chapter 12

It was absolutely ridiculous to feel upset at the idea of him venturing into a lounge to blow off steam, yet it was there all the same.

As she passed another wall of windows on her way to the coffee shop on the corner, Karina was surprised her skin wasn’t glowing green.

Jealous didn’t begin to cover the way she’d felt last night—or the emotion that still lingered now.

And worse, she was no longer the only one who knew it. At the height of her envy last night, she just had to call him.

Karina was almost to the coffee shop’s entrance when her mobile chimed.

“Kava, I’m glad you could return my call.”

“I’m sorry it’s taken so long,” she answered apologetically, loud car horns honking in the background.

Karina didn’t mind, especially knowing why the pair had gone off to Romania. She more than anyone wanted Sebastian to learn the truth about who he was and where he’d come from. Kava had gone along, not just for moral support, but because she felt the same concern Karina did.

“How is he?” she asked, inhaling the warm, fragrant scent of coffee beans.

Because no matter what she was currently dealing with when it came to Uilleam, she still very much cared what was happening with Sebastian and Kava.

“He’s … adjusting,” she said hesitantly. “Better, by any stretch of the imagination. He still has his moments, but we’re working through them.”

Of all the unlikely relationships, Karina hadn’t expected the pair of them to strike up a bond. She understood why—Kava was a caring soul and there was plenty about Sebastian that made him worthy of someone’s empathy.

All the same, she was grateful for it.

“But how are you?” Kava asked, changing the subject. “I heard about what happened.”

At this point, she would have been more surprised if she hadn’t. While the trial would be kept relatively quiet, Uilleam’s arrest had made national news.

And considering who they were accusing him of being, she wasn’t surprised the story had gone global.

For a moment, she thought back to the days when her time was spent in her tiny apartment working on stories and navigating the world anonymously.

It was a simple life, but it had been unequivocally hers. On days like this, she missed it.

“I could be worse,” Karina answered honestly.

Despite having arrived relatively early, there was still a considerable line leading up to the front counter.
