"Did you guys really run across town like a pack of feral dogs to bail out Heidi?" She scrolls on her phone, eyes widening. "It's all over the pack blogs. They're calling it—hold on…'The Idiot Quadruplets' Rescue Attempt.' Everyone is criticizing you. That girl is bad to be seen around anyone of noble blood!"
Morgan scoffs. Isolde leans closer to Daphne, peeking at the screen. "They really said that?"
"Right here. And HELLO… are the comments saying she nearly killed Sierra?"
Luna Ines gasps. "Killed? Who brought that nonsense home?!"
Daphne points at Darien. "Not me. I saw the post."
"I trust my son," Luna Ines snaps. "He would never defy rules over a savage, violent girl. Whoever she is…"
"Actually…" Darien shakes his head. "Daphne is right."
The entire family goes still. Luna Ines turns so slowly it's almost dramatic.
"What?"
Darien lifts a hand, his face serious. "We really did run out to get Heidi."
