Gregory frowned and eased the car to a stop.
Scarlet leaned forward and looked through the windshield. "Who's that?"
The warm glow from the porch lights spilled across the driveway, slowly bringing the figure into view.
Gregory's grip tightened on the steering wheel. He let out a quiet breath.
"Eira."
She uncrossed her arms and walked toward the car, her eyes fixed on Scarlet the entire time.
Gregory turned off the engine, opened the door, and stepped out.
"Eira."
She stopped a few feet in front of him.
"So it's true." Her gaze slipped past Gregory and settled on Scarlet. "You two are seeing each other, and you didn't think I deserved to know?"
Gregory held her gaze. "Is that why you're here? Shouldn't you be at your duty chamber?"
She slowly shook her head.
"No. I came because I need to talk to both of you."
Scarlet stepped out of the car, closed the door behind her, and walked over to Gregory's side.
