“No.” Though Tristan’s tone was light, he did not look at her.
Sophie became even more certain of her hunch.
Ysabelle retired to her room for a shower after dinner and left Sophie and Tristan in the living room.
“Why are you upset?” Sophie asked, still puzzled.
“I want to be the first person you think of whenever you run into trouble.”
Being inexperienced in relationships, Sophie might never have known if he did not bring it up.
“I know,” she remarked noncommittedly. She was already used to solving her own problems.
Tristan did not know what else to do.

He made her feel very safe, as if he would be able to solve all her problems no matter what happened.
As the witness, Ysabelle accompanied Sophie to court on the day of the trial.
Upon arriving outside the court, they saw Queenie and her uncle.
The former scoffed at the sight of Sophie and Ysabelle.
“They’re the ones who have assaulted me, Uncle Jason. You must avenge me.”
Jason cast an eye on the two girls standing across him and found them both exceptional beauties.
“Relax. I’ve never lost a case.”
“I’ll see you inside, Uncle Jason.” Queenie sent her uncle in to prepare before walking over.
