Cecilia's pov
Sebastian said nothing.Only his ice-cold stare spoke for him as he regarded Harper.
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Don't glare at her like that."
Harper patted my hand in reassurance. "It's fine, really. I'll go."
With the kind of deep breath people take before jumping out of planes, she stood up and followed Sebastian out like she was heading to her own trial.
Cassian leaned back in his chair, looking completely calm.
"Relax," he said, stretching out in his chair. "Sebastian treats rules like gospel. He won't lay a finger on her."
Twenty minutes later, they emerged from the study.
Harper had gone in looking like she was walking toward a firing squad. She came out practically glowing, like she'd just walked off a game show stage with a giant check.
