Watching You Burn In Regret novel Chapter 28

Seren walked out of the sitting room without glancing back.

Running into Quentin was inevitable, given his close connection with Sheridan, but that didn't mean she had to spend any more time around him than absolutely necessary.

In the corridor outside, there was a small waiting area. Framed landscape paintings hung on the wall, and Seren paused in front of one, letting her thoughts drift.
