  • A Contract The Empire Couldn't Break    Chapter 709: Laughter Without Tension

    The laughter started small.It did not erupt or announce itself. It surfaced between sentences, slipped into pauses, threaded itself through conversations that had nowhere to rush to. It was the kind of laughter that did not seek permission or worry about being overheard.Lillian noticed it first when Henry laughed so hard he had to sit down.He had been listening to Marcus explain something that involved absolutely no danger but had been delivered with the seriousness of a tactical briefing.

His eyes registered people, not threats.That, more than anything else, told him this place was different.He paused briefly near the entrance, not to assess but to absorb.
