She wanted to by pass him and make a beeline for the door, but her attempt was cut short when Edgar snagged her wrist.

Edgar’s face turned beet red, his feathers clearly ruffled by her mocking gaze, “Anyway, you’re still my ex. This sort of promiscuity will tarnish the Fallen family’s reputation. I warn you, you’d best steer clear of other men!”
