She didn’t know how long they sat like that, her standing by the couch, Lucian lounging back with his dark eyes fixed on her. Then came the faint sound of the door handle twisting. Georgia turned her head, feeling her breath catch in her throat. The door swung open and the lights switched on, the bright lights flooding the room. May stood there, her hand on the door, with Damien right behind her. “Georgia, there you are!” May said. She stepped inside, her heels clicking on the tiled floor. “How are you guys even seeing in the dark?” She looked around, her brows raised. Lucian’s lips twitched. “We didn’t know there was a bulb here,” he said, his tone calm and smooth. May let out a little laugh. “Okay,” she said. She stepped closer and stopped short when she got a good look at Georgia.
