After dinner, Yeva showed up in the study room with Leah.

Sawyer Norah had designed the room to his taste, quaint but comfortable. On one side of the wall was a shelf filled with books.

There were a lot of antique vases and Victorian paintings in the room. Yeva and Leah had seen these accessories in their fathers’ room, but they were never allowed to go near or touch them.

Sage was flipping through a book while Yeva started reciting the house rules.
