Chloe looked at her with concern.
Amelia narrowed her eyes slightly, suspicion evident.
'Did she do something…?'
The tension lingered until Ivy walked back. Completely unharmed.
A collective sigh of relief spread through the group.
Silas let out a quiet sigh of relief, his shoulders finally relaxing as the tension left his body.
His gaze shifted briefly toward Scarlett, and he gave her a small, acknowledging nod.
Scarlett noticed.
But instead of responding, she simply rolled her eyes and looked away, clearly uninterested.
Seeing that, Silas didn't press further. He just shrugged slightly and ignored her in return.
'Fine… suit yourself,' he thought, his attention already drifting elsewhere.
Without warning, he stepped closer Ivy.
Ivy blinked in surprise as she suddenly felt his presence right beside her.
Before she could react, he leaned in slightly, his hand brushing lightly against her arm, his touch warm and familiar.
