"Why me?"
Carson Flores's heart raced with urgency. His senior sister's orders were not to be disobeyed, but he had resolved to keep a low profile once there. Lainey Dragon, a red-hot figure of attention, was walking the same path as him; how could he stay under the radar now?
Killian Jaramillo sized up Lainey Dragon, curiously turning to watch how Carson would handle the situation.
Carson said with an awkward chuckle, "Miss Dragon, why don't you go ahead? My Sword Flight is slow and I might delay you."
Lainey Dragon smiled charmingly, "People don't run off; it's fine to go slowly, there's no rush... Is this fairy-like beauty your wife?"
Carson was mortified.
Don't talk nonsense, please, it's embarrassing!
"Miss Dragon is mistaken, my wife is not in Misrds State."
