Lewis frowned.
Keira glanced at him and nodded slightly.
She had already called her father, Uncle Olsen, and the Freeman Sect's leader. Both had responded promptly, showing just how fast things could move.
Now, the only person left was Lewis.
Keira moved closer, ready to explain her reasons, but Lewis spoke first. "If something happens to you, some people will take advantage of it, and others will distance themselves to avoid getting caught in the mess. But someone has to stand up for you. Since my reputation as a love-struck fool is already out there, I might as well embrace it."
Keira was at a loss for words.
Lewis was right. She couldn't overcompensate just to appease outsiders, or it would seem insincere.
If the three families released statements severing ties, it would look like a show…
Clearing her throat, Keira said softly, "Then I'm sorry for the trouble."
"Serving my wife is no trouble at all."
