But just because she preferred silver needles didn’t mean she couldn’t handle firearms.
On the contrary–she had a natural talent for it. Her learning curve was always fast

By the time she’d ranked first across the board in her military training unit, her family had hurriedly pulled her our
They were terrified those fanatical military instructors would try to keep her permanently.
The family back home used to say she was the only heir in generations who had maxed out nearly every skill they were expected to master.
Even the ones she hadn’t maxed out–she was still among the best of the best.
She turned slightly, glancing at Kennedy and the young man beside him, who hadn’t left yet.
Looking at Kennedy’s calm, elegant exterior, she suddenly remembered how rough she’d just acted–and wondered briefly if she’d startled him.
Then again, Davina never had much patience for that twisted excuse of a family.
She’d make sure they paid back in full everything the old Davina had endured from them.
Not that she was stupid enough to actually kill someone in public.
She wasn’t insane.
But she was going to make them suffer.
She smiled faintly and offered a polite greeting. “Mr. Sawyer.
Kennedy’s lips curled in a soft smile. “Didn’t expect we’d meet again under these circumstances. His gaze flicked toward the target she’d hit earlier. “You really surprised me.”
There was definite praise hidden in that comment.
Jasper and Hailey, although acquainted with Kennedy, weren’t close with him.
So they didn’t butt into the conversation.
Second–generation elites might all come from similar backgrounds, but that didn’t mean they were
even that familiar with one another.
Most of the time, they only interacted for social obligations.

Jasper and Hailey exchanged a quick glance.
Fabian Gray?
What was he doing in Zlanta?
He was from the elite circle and a well–known playboy at that time
He rotated through a handful of rumored girlfriends every year–either top models or trending starlets.
His reputation was basically heartless but never helpless.
They hadn’t paid much attention to him before, but now that they took a closer look, it was definitely him.
Davina gave a soft laugh and introduced herself as well. “Davina Sumner.”
“Don’t forget–let me see you shoot a rifle next time!”

Fabian was clearly the outgoing type, and it didn’t take more than a few words for him to come across as friendly and easy to like.
Davina just smiled, offering neither refusal nor promise.

Still, it was obvious Fabian was very interested in her.
He kept sneaking glances, trying to communicate through facial expressions.
Davina couldn’t help but smile little more.

“He’s a friend of mine, Kennedy said, eyes still locked on her. “Bit impulsive in how he talks and acts–hope you don’t His gaze hadn’t left her even once.
But it didn’t feel intense.
Maybe it was the glasses–those gold–rimmed frames gave his look a gentler, more composed feel.
The classic image of a refined, scholarly heartthrob. The so–called gentleman scoundrel.
Davina didn’t care much for whether he was a scoundrel or not
“I don’t mind,” she replied casually.
After all, she barely knew Fabian–what was there to mind?
