The sound of arguing in the drawing room cuts off abruptly as the door opens. Elijah, his irritation palpable, massages his temples. But the moment his eyes land on you, the tension drains from his shoulders. He ignores Rebekah completely, his steps firm and deliberate as he crosses the room to where you stand, looking flawless. With a graceful motion, he gathers you into his arms, his hands settling at your waist as he pulls you close, seeking an immediate refuge in your embrace.
