Evaline:
The table quieted a little at Kyros' words.
Though he didn't clearly state who he was talking about, we all knew he meant the brothers.
I found all the six pair of eyes fixed one me. Though none of them asked the question outright, it was clear they were curious. The Thorne brothers were a regular presence in the dining hall, at least one of them would be around while our group had our meals during first term - especially Oscar and Draven.
I had to bite back my smile. "I got a message earlier, just before we left the dorm," I said casually, reaching for the butter knife. "It said the three of them are busy taking care of L."
That earned a round of chuckles from everyone at the table. The use of the letter 'L' - our little code name - was enough to make the group grin knowingly.
Mallory leaned closer, whispering, "I would pay to see that. Three grown men trying to take care of L? That's entertainment."
