"I should inform Meera that I'll come tomorrow," I said calmly.

I took the phone, our fingers brushing. "Thank you, baby," I said, appreciating the small, thoughtful gesture.
I unlocked the screen and opened my messaging app, quickly typing out a reply to Meera, confirming that I would meet Liam tomorrow, making the final arrangements for the difficult day ahead. The gravity of the message was heavy, but Evric's comforting presence beside me made the task manageable.
"Ask for the address, love," Evric prompted gently, resting his chin on my shoulder.
"She will send it to me," I assured him, hitting 'Send.'
