His hand lightly brushed her waist-not gripping, just there-steadying closer than necessary. Her breath hitched . "Rowan...what are you doing?" she asked, her voice betraying her. He lowered his voice, just enough to make her knees buckle. "Relax, Mara. I'm just observing." His presence lingered for too long. Too close. Amara gulped. "You could've observed from somewhere else," she murmured. He didn't move.
