"You look a lot better." They were the first words out of Lady Ava's mouth before anyone else could say anything. She moved towards Cass as if to grab his hands, but stopped a few steps away. She scanned his face, worry in every part of her, before she let out a relieved sigh. "You look a lot better. Good. I was worried, you know. Very worried. I'm glad speaking to Fifi helped." She said the last part quietly, very quietly.
Cass knew that Lucian could hear her, but that didn't seem to matter to her. She looked as if she wanted to hug him, and Cass, feeling like the bigger person, offered her a hand.
Lady Ava's eyes widened but she didn't hesitate. She grabbed his hand with both of hers, giving it a squeeze. Her eyes warmed, her face broke with a smile, and she looked…
She looked better. Way better.
