Although Lachlan agreed, Fallon couldn't help but feel as though she misstepped. Had he intended for the invitation to be just them? But for what purpose? "No other friends," she promised. Truthfully, the only other friend she might've thought of was Jesse, and that was a more awkward thought than she'd care to admit. "Just Malou, if she wanted to anyway. Magical beasts aren't her favorite thing."

Fallon had promised to stay away from the topic of his career, and, even as he made offhand comments himself, she intended to hold true to it. "Tell me more about the Hebrides. What was it like to grow up there?" She couldn't fathom it herself, having lived in the slums of London. To have such fresh air and space to move about must've been incredible.
