I didn’t answer.
He leaned forward.
“Can we speak alone?”
Evelyn immediately responded.
“No.”
His jaw tightened.
“I wasn’t talking to you.”
I met his eyes.
“Then you can stop talking.”
He seemed surprised.
Controlling people have a strange habit.
They can see you depart, sell property, hire counsel, and begin anew.
Yet they still expect obedience when they speak sharply.
Dorian studied his hands.
“Callie left me.”
“I know.”
“She never loved me.”
“That’s between you and Callie.”
“I made a terrible mistake.”
I stared at him.
