Charis looked back in apology as they left, but she still went with him.

As angry as Nathan was at the encounter, he realized that what bothered him the most was how Sasha had just stood there. Not once had Sasha raised his voice to defend himself. Instead, he had kept his head lowered like a child being scolded, as if he believed he deserved that treatment.
