Not particularly.
As long as I can count on your forces when needed.
With a tilt of her head, she decided to conserve her strategic acumen, focusing instead on covertly amplifying the severity of her brothers challenges for Rhys.

This was the first tHarlee had shown Rhys intense anger since they had opened their hearts to each other. Rhys heart pounded with panic as he clutched Harlees hand, his eyes wide with regret.
Im sorry, Harlee.
I made a mistake.
Dont be angry, okay? Harlee held her ground, her face unshakably resolute.
Moments before, remorse had overwhelmed her, thinking, thinking she had caused him pain, to the point of tears. But upon discovering his deceit was all a playful ruse, her anger flared.
Health, in her eyes, was no subject for jest.
No, Rhys, Harlee said sharply, her voice icy.
Im truly upset, and I dont wish to speak to you right now! With a firm push, she distanced herself from him.
