responsibility.
“How long do you want to stay out? I’ll stay with you, but when you’ve had enough, I’ll take you home.”

Fenna’s interference caused Mila’s recently softened heart to harden once more, bringing her sudden clarity.
She ignored Fenna, focusing her gaze on Nathan. “Nate, do you think it’s appropriate for an outsider to interfere in our matters?” she asked.

As night fell, the soft glow of the lights intertwined with the dusk, and it draped a touch of sorrow over Mila.
