AMELIA 'DECLAN' SILVER
He recognized me!
When I turned around and saw him standing there, my heart almost exploded right out of my chest.
Linus.
Of all people.
Of all places.
Right here. At Lunaris.
For a full second, I couldn’t breathe. My brain froze, and all I could feel was warm panic rushing down my spine like melted fear.
He stared at me with those familiar eyes—sharp, stubborn, and just as annoyingly confident as ever. His gaze swept over my face, slow, knowing, too knowing. Recognition lit up his features like someone had switched on a lamp behind his eyes.
“Amelia?” he whispered.
A name I had buried. A name that had no business inside these walls.
I swallowed. “You’ve got the wrong person,” I said quickly, voice lower, steadier than I felt. “My name is Declan.”
Linus
