Her soothingly lilting voice drifted into Cedrick’s ears and echoed in his mind.

Cedrick regained his senses and stretched out his arms slightly, resuming his aloof expression. “I’m not injured. Feel free to inspect me if you have any doubts.”
“I don’t believe you. You can’t trick me when you look worse for wear. I need you to explain what exactly happened. What were you and Evelyn doing when I came in? Why do I sense that you were trying to pique me-”
