[Eveline Clearwater's POV]
I shifted my gaze away from this smug bastard and looked over the girls named Liliana and Lily, acknowledging their presence with a nod. "It's clear that you have the support of those who care for you. That's invaluable."
The afternoon sun streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow over the room. The tension from the initial meeting had eased, and the conversation meandered through various topics. I found myself getting a better sense of the dynamics within the Ashwood family. Despite their fall from grace, a strong bond held them together.
Liliana and Lily were intriguing in their own ways. Liliana's composed confidence contrasted with Lily's quiet grace, yet both seemed to share a deep connection with Samael. Their presence added a layer of complexity to the family dynamic that was both fascinating and daunting.
