Sophia was fuming. When she looked down, she saw Alden holding an empty glass.

The moment she saw him, she threw all caution to the wind and ran over to grab him by the collar. Then, she swung her hand at him.

Adina grabbed her hand midwing, even if it felt as if her bone was about to be crushed.
