Chapter 51Sarah’s POVThe morning came faster than I wanted.I woke up that morning feeling the weight of what was ahead. Today was important. The meeting with the other company was set. I was going to put on my best outfit, I'd choose something sharp, professional. I needed to look strong. I needed to feel strong.I stood in front of the mirror, my hands smoothing down the black dress I had chosen.The fabric clung enough to look serious but allowed me to move. My hair was tied back, my makeup light but sharp. I looked like I was ready for war.Alexander leaned against the doorframe, watching me. His eyes moved from my head to my feet, slow, like he was measuring me.“You look… prepared,” he said finally.“I am,” I replied.His mouth curved faintly, but he didn’t comment further.
