The light inside was dim, with the computer’s flickering glow casting shadows on Flora’s face. Her eyes, slightly downcast, seemed indifferent. Her fingers moved leisurely over the keyboard, yet the vulnerabilities on the screen were being fixed one after another.

Connor stiffened, his knife pausing mid-chop, his gaze deepening. He put down the knife, turned around, and wall corner. His hands carefully positioned on Flora’s head and shoulder, ensuring she wouldn’t get hurt.
