Chapter 26 Daphne Synclair

• Chase’s P.O.V
• I was just about to press Lucia on what she meant by “find out soon enough” when I noticed something shift in her gaze. Her eyes darted across the room, sharp and quick, like a predator locking onto its prey. Then, they landed on Alex. And that’s when everything changed.
• The serious, almost guarded look in the girl’s eyes melted into something playful, almost mischievous. She let out this soft giggle, the kind that reminded me of a teenage girl crushing hard, and then, without a hint of hesitation, she skipped over to Alex like she was floating on air.
