“Can you be serious for once?” Leif sighed, clearly exasperated. “I'm not joking.”
“I know,” Corrine said before hanging up.
Leif stared at his phone for a long moment, brows furrowed.
Then, with a sinking feeling, he dialed Lone Ranger. “Has Corrine ever asked you to look into the Powell family?”
he asked directly.
“The Powell family from the Independent Continent?” Lone Ranger asked cautiously.
“Yes!” Leif exclaimed. He knew Corrine too well. She never asked too many questions unless something—or
someone—was involved. “Tellthe truth. Has something already happened between them?”
There was a pause. Then, realizing he couldn't hide it any longer, Lone Ranger confessed how the Powell family

effortless ease, drawing her close. “What were you thinking about just now?” he murmured.
He rested his head against the crook of her neck. His breath fanned her skin—warm, subtle, electrifying. A shiver
coursed through her, sharp and sweet, like a sudden gust of wind on bare skin.
“When are we heading back to Lyhaton?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Lifting his head slowly, Nate looked at her with quiet affection. His eyes, dark and steady, lingered on her face as
if memorizing every line. “Eager to go back?”
“It just feels safer there,” she replied.
