Xavier narrowed his eyes, definitely not buying the fake smile. "You were crying. Why?" He entered the room, scanning the place to see if anyone was inside with Elena. When he saw no one, he turned to face her. "Who made you cry? Tell me and I'll deal with the unfortunate wolf."
"I'm fine Xavier, just a little overwhelmed." Xavier's frown deepened.
