It took a few minutes for Seraphina to calm down.
Her hands were still trembling when she finally loosened her grip on Lucian's wrists.
The warmth of his skin beneath her fingers grounded her, but it also terrified her—because it reminded her how close she might have been to losing him without even knowing.
She closed her eyes briefly, before finally opening them, staring directly at Lucian, who seemed to be worried.
She exhaled slowly, steadying herself.
"Did… did you really see a gob… whatever it was?"
She asked, but couldn't even say the name 'Goblin' since she didn't remember it properly.
Lucian sighed.
"Yes."
The simplicity of his answer made Lia's fingers curl tighter against his sleeve.
"How? When? And where?"
Lia instantly bombarded him with multiple questions, her voice rising slightly with each word. Meanwhile, Seraphina stayed silent, as she just waited for him to answer.
"Yesterday," Lucian said.
His voice lowered unconsciously.
