Interest

The tea party had finally come to an end but the ripples it left behind were far from settling.

As soon as Angella stepped into the car, Millie wasted no time. "Well, that was certainly an interesting turn of events." Her voice held an unmistakable amusement.

Angella sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Mother—"

"Oh, don't you 'Mother' me," Millie interrupted as she leaned back with a knowing smile. "I saw the way Damien was looking at you and I saw the way you didn't pull away when he kissed your hand. Oh I can't wait to tell your father." 

Seeing her mother's excitement, Angella huffed. "It was nothing."

Millie chuckled. "Darling, I have been in this world long enough to know when a man is interested. And Damien? He was all but staking his claim in front of Logan and everyone else."

Angella turned sharply. "That is ridiculous. Damien and I barely know each other."
