Chapter 13: Stolen Glances

Kara spent the next few days in the company of her mother and brothers, finding solace in their presence. It served as a much-needed distraction from her current predicament. She wasn’t prepared to confront Eerik and Henri, and she was relieved that they had kept their distance.
