Elizabeth shot Luka a glare, then crossed her arms and looked away.
With the room quiet, Luther turned back to Matthew.

Matthew met Luther’s gaze evenly. “Have you made a decision on my request?”
Luther’s cheeky demeanor vanished as soon as the topic shifted to the film. He studied Matthew for a moment, his expression turning serious.

“Yes.”
