Zarek lowered himself slowly onto one knee, bringing his eyes level with hers while completely ignoring the way my entire body tensed up.

Naya did not reach out to him; instead, she looked up at my face, wordlessly searching for permission, waiting to see if she should fear this stranger. I kept my expression blank, refusing to give him the satisfaction of seeing me break down in front of our daughter.
