331 Nothing More & Nothing Less

Emily quickly waved her hands to dismiss the topic as she spoke, "No worries at all, I'm sure I'll become her best friend soon enough."

The mood immediately lightened when Annika realized that Emily wasn't sad or offended because of Clairy's ignorant behavior. The woman really seemed to be walking on eggshells around them.

"Come on, let's head inside. The others have been waiting for hours to meet you both." Emily suggested and they all finally decided to move and headed toward the entrance door.

They found Domenic in the living room where everyone took their seats. Emily moved to sit next to her eldest brother and whispered, "Try to act more like a sweet elder brother instead of the strict Alessandro master that you are. Don't you even dare to scare either Annika or Clary." 

Her words were only meant for Domenic to hear but of course, there was one more person who heard her loud and clear and it was none other than Shadow.
