Chapter 19: Things I Held Dearest

“Did you see Daemon today yet?”

I clenched my jaw at what would have usually been a simple, innocent question from my best friend. I angled myself carefully so that I didn’t accidentally catch a glimpse of the man in question.

“No,” I admitted to Charlotte.

Charlotte blanched and then shook her head. “Honestly, I don’t understand how you can’t just stare at him while we work. He is absolute eye candy. I don’t know what it is about him today, but he is just extra dangerous. Maybe it’s a new suit or his hair slicked back?”

Even though Charlotte wasn’t going into excruciating detail, I could still picture Daemon perfectly in my mind from her words. He would look as cool and collected as always, his suit clinging to his strong frame just right.
