As Seth left to deliver the message, I was reluctant to leave. The unexpected arrival of someone connected to Miriam set off warning bells in my mind.
I studied her face. "Do you have any idea what this could be about?"
She shook her head. "No, But I'll find out soon enough."
I crossed my arms. "Do you want to see her?"
She exhaled, thinking. "I suppose I should. If she came all this way, it must be important."
"Then let me go with you," I said firmly.
She gave me a small smile but she shook her head. "I appreciate your protectiveness darling, but I should talk to her first. If something feels off, I'll let you know.
I trusted Lyla's judgment and she was right – we couldn't put everything on hold for every surprise that came our way. Still, I didn't like it but I also knew she could handle herself. I studied her for a moment before nodding. "Fine. But if she tries anything…"
"I'll handle it," she assured me, swinging her legs over the bed.
