"Ah, I wouldn't call it adjusting since I have been pretty much stuck in since we arrived," Patricia admitted, ending with a small laugh directed at Zara. She knew her best friend didn't fall in love easily, barely at all, but for some reason, she sensed Silas was different from the others. The way he looked at Zara was unlike anything she had seen before, and Patricia silently wished her friend would open her eyes and notice it too.
"Thank you for staying to help my sister," Silas said sincerely, his gaze steady. "As her brother, I feel ashamed to drag you into our family matters, but I truly appreciate your help."
