#Chapter 29: The Inspector

Third Person POV Asher heard the front door open, the mumble of voices drifting to him. Sienna and some other girl, someone who sounded… He pressed his ear to his door, honing in on the voices, his curiosity getting the better of him. The only few words he caught chilled him to his absolute core. “…I’m Mia.” He jerked back, stumbling a few feet away from the door. Did that girl just say her name was Mia? Sure, a common name. It could be anyone. But in this world, with his luck? He opened his door so he could hear a bit more, listening in to the conversation taking place just a room over. “See, I was sent by the Council due to their concern regarding your leadership abilities,” Mia said, and that was when Asher knew. That voice. It was her. His Mia. The childhood best friend he’d fallen so deeply in love with, here, outside his door. It wasn’t a coincidence, right? Sweat instantly
