Silas watched her with an amused glint in his eyes, his lips twitching upward despite his effort to appear composed. The sight of her flustered...her brows knitted, her lips pressed in irritation, the way she refused to look at him was far too entertaining.
He sat back in his chair, folding his arms with a satisfied smirk. He had teased her enough for the day; his mission, by all accounts, was successful. Watching Avery Vale lose her usual cool composure was a rare treat, one he wasn't about to ruin by pushing too far.
