~HUNTER~
The numbers on my laptop screen blur together. I rub my eyes, trying to focus on the Hong Kong deal, but my mind keeps drifting to last night.
To Celine's wide eyes when she saw me. To the pink flush creeping up her neck. To the way she bit her lip before fleeing my room.
A sharp knock breaks my concentration, followed immediately by my office door swinging open. Only one person enters my office without waiting for permission.
"Cousin dearest!" Caroline sings out, striding in as if she owns the place. "Still brooding, I see."
I don't look up. "I'm busy."
"You're always busy," she says, dropping gracefully into the chair across from my desk. "It's your default state of being."
Vincent chuckles from the doorway. I hadn't noticed him following Caroline in. Great. A tag team.
