Ezekiel remembered something.
At that time, he accidentally saw Harriet's expression at the boutique.
Harriet was writing a message to Liam on a card, and the woman had an expression he never thought he'd ever see. At that time, he was so intoxicated by the effects of the Sorcery that he didn't know what had happened to his head—but it was also the first time.
It was the first time Ezekiel had seen Harriet as a 'human', not as a perfect, flawless noble.
And today, he saw it again.
Harriet Goldlane was a woman who was always able to show how perfect she was in front of others. She had a warm and friendly smile that always accompanied her cool head and calm demeanour.
However, in front of that man—and only for that man…
She was willing to show what lies behind all her perfection.
She showed her weakness, her anger, her sadness, and so many other emotions that she would never show to anyone just for the sake of that man.
