“A-Already?” She frowned. “But of course, come in.” She invited, opening the door wider.

“After you.” I turned to Panther, stepping aside. Tiago cared much more for him than he did for me, so it would only be appropriate. Right?

“I’ll go get Tiago. Please, make yourselves comfortable!” She called out, leaving the room.

“Nothing. I’m sorry. I’m just tired.” I covered with a smile. The sides of my lips were hurting because of this facade, but I had to hold on for just a while longer.
