Finally, Lord Blackburn's lips turned up slightly, and Cass understood why Sam had been so weirded out when Cass had done it.
Lord Blackburn looked extra villainous when he smiled. He was a hot villain, but still a villain nonetheless. Cass wondered if he still looked like that when he smiled. It made sense now why Sam told him what he had when he'd done it.
"You go by Cass, yes?" Lord Blackburn said and Cass nodded.
"My full name is Caspian, but Cass is what my sister called me." Lord Blackburn's expression tightened.
"You had a sister?" He asked carefully and Cass nodded.
"Yeah. She's about to pop out a niece or nephew any day now." Cass puffed his chest out slightly, proud of her. She'd put in the work, gotten a good job, a person who cared about her, and she was moving on with her life. She was making him proud, as a younger sibling. Lord Blackburn examined Cass, looking at his expressions and movements.
