“Ah, we’ve crossed paths before.

Valery had barely settled into her seat and reached for a cup when Winona spoke, her smile mischievous.

“What?”
Valery’s gaze followed Winona’s pointed finger, and her expression shifted when she locked eyes with Hannah.
“What are you doing here?
Do you even belong at this table?”
Hannah arched an eyebrow ever so slightly.
