"This city… is different," Selene said. "The Governor has a tight hold on everyone. He controls everything and everyone unless you are a giant like Calloway. Oran isn't different."
Her tone was sharp when talking about the owner of Fennel Potions.
Isaac raised a brow.
"You two have history or something?"
"No." Selene's answer was immediate. She even looked a little annoyed. "There's nothing between us. And there won't be."
Isaac blinked, slightly surprised by the firm tone.
Marien, standing nearby, sighed softly.
Selene, you don't need to say that out loud. That's not helping.
Isaac didn't comment any further.
Selene glanced away for a moment, then cleared her throat. "Anyway, if you need me, I'll be finalizing some supply orders with the logistics team."
"Got it," Isaac said.
She walked off, leaving Isaac with Marien, who was now staring at him with an unreadable expression.
