Carina's POV
Stunning he says, even going so far as to hold his hand out to me, I was so angry that such a small gesture set loose a hoard of butterflies in my stomach, I was grateful for the mask covering enough of my face to hide whatever expression I was making, I don't trust myself to keep my composure around him, I don't trust myself to think around him, and I most definitely don't trust myself enough to touch him
I walked passed his hand right out the door into the corridor, decadent is an understatement, these people haven't the slightest ounce of self control, these halls were covered in so much gold it makes you wonder if they're overcompensating for something, or maybe they're just hoping to blind you with the glare long enough you don't see the truth
"This place is hideous" Thea sneers and I couldn't help the snort that came out of me, she had her nose turned up something gnarly
