The door opened.
One by one, the women walked in.
With the exact grins he had imagined them to have.
Grins that told him that they wouldn't let him forget.
The women walked in like winners.
Like queens returning from war with trophies in their hands.
Skyla almost bounced, grinning ear to ear. Edda's smile looked sinful. Vyriana's eyes gleamed with smug pride. Astaria's gaze was steady, but her lips were lifted. Rune looked like she wanted to laugh out loud. Lane was quiet, but her eyes said everything. Aeliana's stare was sharp, almost daring him to speak first.
Felberta came in with calm steps, but even she had that tiny curve at the corner of her lips. The kind that only showed when she knew she had him.
The others were no different. They all had that same smug look on their faces, even Sharnoth.
Shadow walked in last, arms crossed, chin raised like she was about to announce a verdict.
