He studied me for a moment. “You have nothing to apologize for.”

“I feel like I overstepped,” I insisted. “Especially knowing that you have a mate.”

He sighed softly. “Agnes, the situation with Olivia is... complicated. But that doesn’t excuse my actions, either.”

    AgnesI stared down at the book in my hands, feeling like my face was on fire. “I-I didn’t realize what it was,” I blurted out, desperately trying to cover up my embarrassment. “I-I must have grabbed it by mistake.”Elijah glanced over at me.

The light turned green, and he accelerated, the city turning into a blur around us. “And so what if you did? There’s nothing wrong with that.”I shot him a sidelong glance, surprised. “You mean, you don’t mind?”“Why would I?” he asked, glancing at me in the rearview mirror. “It’s still a book just like any other. Who cares if it has... ero
