Not one of the three looks shocked.

“You are strong, Sky,” Dad says as my eyes. snap to the mirror behind me, a full-body mirror… did he see me slip the potion out of my pocket? 1

My heart is pounding as I glare at Leo, him. leaving, the way he was acting. It was all an act! My eyes snap to the doorway where Delsanra and Rayhan are standing.
