CHAPTER 479
~Zara's POV~
I flew from behind the desk and crossed the room in seconds, throwing my arms around him.
Andrew caught me easily, squeezing tightly. "Gods, it's good to see you. You're still taller than me, I see."
"Lies," I said, laughing into his shoulder. "Don't let the heels deceive you. You are still taller. But who knows, maybe you've grown shorter." Zara giggled.
"Impossible. I'm the pride of the family's gene pool."
I pulled back to look at him. "You returned from your travel without warning?"
"Had to. Things are shifting, Zara. Zade said I was needed here."
"True, he is right. I've got news you're going to want to hear."
Andrew's smile faltered just a little. I stepped back. "News?"
Andrew's eyes darkened slightly. "Yeah. It's about—"
A knock cut through the air and I groaned inwardly, rubbing my forehead. "Not now."
