Thea turned to him slightly, sobbing softly.Her body trembled, a panicked expression on her face.

"I-I’ve offended Trent Xavier.I'm a dead woman now.Go, leave me.I don’t want to get you into trouble." James soothed her.

"It’s alright.I saw the news this morning.Trent’s dead, and your family is okay."
