Xaden grumbles something under his breath and walks to the kitchen area. “I’ll start up dinner. Is there anything you specifically want?”

I looked up from the box.

She cups his face, her eyes flowing oddly before she turns to face me. She steps away from Xaden and smiles at me warmly, yet her eyes showcased the trouble in her soul.
