Chapter 40

Katherine stood beside Kieran, her fingers barely grazing the edge of her gown, a nervous habit she couldn't shake off. Kieran's hand rested lightly on the small of her back, and he glanced at her, a small smile on his face. "Calm down," he whispered to her.

"She's here," Kieran murmured, eyes narrowing as he caught sight of the cars in the distance.
