The two figures launched toward us like heat-seeking missiles.
I barely had time to register who they were before both of them crashed straight into me.

Ravian stumbled backward.
Vivienne cursed.
Stephano almost got dragged down with me because apparently we were spiritually and physically tethered now.

"I FINALLY FOUND YOU!"
"ARE YOU HURT?!"

"Can you two stop being clingy?" I complained while they helped pull me upright.
"My Lady, you grabbed the wrong person," Gawain said seriously. "Of course I'd be worried."

He was my aide.
It was literally his job to stress over my terrible decisions.
What I didn't understand was Sebastian.
I turned towards him suspiciously. "Seb. What about you?"
