“Yes,” Quinn said. “After the border fire five years ago, my brother was spotted in Doria, so I need to go and see whether any trail remains.”

Though half a decade had passed and Rowan might be long gone, she could not stay home and wonder.

“Doria is unstable these days,” Weston cautioned. “If you’re searching for someone, I can reach out to friends there and have them ask around.”

“Thank you,” Quinn replied, “but I still have to see it with my own eyes.”

Harlan studied her. “Are you going with Julius Whitethorn?”

“No. I’m going alone.”

“Alone? Julius is letting you travel on your own?” he blurted.

Quinn saw her friend slipping toward inebriation and tried to intervene. “I’m not planning to…”

A smooth voice drifted in from the doorway. “So, you want to introduce a new man to Quinn?”

The four friends froze, heads snapping toward the open door of the private room.

The door to the private suite/had opened without anyone noticing, and Julius stepped inside.
