Lucian gently held her hands and helped her get up. His touch was careful, and his eyes held a question. “Why are you hiding from her? She’s your ex-sister-in-law, right?”
Georgia’s shoulders slumped, and she gave a small nod. “Yeah,” she mumbled.
Lucian tilted his head, his brow furrowing as he watched her closely. “But… why are you so on edge about her?”
Georgia’s lips pressed together. She sighed. “She’s a pain in the ass, Lucian,” she said, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. “She always finds a way to stir up trouble, and I didn’t want to ruin May’s big day with her drama.”
Lucian’s brows relaxed. “That makes sense,” he said softly.
Realizing how close they were standing, Georgia took two steps back. She tugged at the hem of her outfit, her eyes flicking to the floor.
