Elias took Leena’s hand and led her up the front steps and through the grand entryway of the mansion. As they stepped inside, the soft warmth of the home enveloped them, the scent of cinnamon and sandalwood drifting in the air. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze and guided her toward a woman standing near the hallway.
“Leena, this is Rose,” Elias said warmly.
Rose gave a kind smile and a slight nod. “It’s lovely to meet you.”
“You too,” Leena replied softly.
At that moment, Luna padded into the entryway and made a beeline for Elias, tail wagging gently. He crouched down and gave her a few affectionate strokes behind the ears. “Hey, girl.”
Angel stepped into the room, smiling when she saw them. “Come on,” she said. “Let’s head to the library to chat a bit before dinner.”
