Nyssa frowned in her seat, staring at the doorway where I stood, but not at me.
I made my way over to her, letting a hand trail softly down her cheek as I placed a kiss atop her head.
"Don't worry about Aria, she will be fine," I assured her softly, pulling her to het feet. "We have a few hours before dinner and I'd like to spend them with you."
"No."
"We can… wait, what?"
I blinked twice, wondering if I heard her correctly. I waited for her to take the words back or at least tell me that it was a fucking joke, but none of that happened.
She stared straight at me, her expression soft and patronizing. "You need to go to your sister."
I raised a brow. "Why?"
"Just… trust me on this one, okay?"
