Chapter 106 – Emmaline POV
"Just say it," I deadpan, pinning Benjamin with a look as he continues hovering like an awkward ghost near the edge of the sitting room.
He sighs—a long, theatrical breath like he's about to perform Hamlet—and still doesn't speak. That alone is suspicious. Benjamin never hesitates when he wants something. So the fact that he's dithering like a schoolboy with a crush makes me very, very curious.
Daelan is out with my father right now—bonding, allegedly, though that probably just meansspending hours looking at and talking about boring spreadsheets. That leaves me with nothing but tea, paperwork, and whatever drama Benjamin's trying to bottle behind that heavily moisturized face of his.
I narrow my eyes and really look at him.
