Chapter 25 25

• Dashiell wore a black suit and stood in front of Fiammetta with a stern expression. He didn’t speak, just occasionally nodded. When his eyelids closed lightly, the slender corners of his eyes gleamed with cold light.
• Liora kept her eyes on Leander, but she noticed Dashiell approaching. Unconsciously, she shifted away, thinking he wanted to take a look at Leander. Instead, she saw him striding toward the elevator at the end of the corridor. His tall figure, as he walked away, exuded a sense of emotional detachment, even the strands of hair at the back of his head seemed to emit a cold, distant feeling.
• After he took the elevator downstairs, she still felt a chill in the air, like the scent of icy cedar.
