“Da.” I keep my expression flat. “I also promised an acceptance letter.”

“Of course you did.”

“If you send it, you can ask him your questions.”

Henry stares at me. “You know that’s illegal, right? Just giving someone acceptance.”

I go extra slow as I roll my eyes this time.

Nothing.

I point to my face. “Can you see what I am doing?”

He nods. “Yes, I can see you not caring about the law.”

“I am rolling my eyes at you.”

That has his expression lifting. “Really?”

“Da. Three times.”

Henry barks out a laugh. “Do it again.”

I roll my eyes. Not because he asked, but because the request was worthy of one.

And I almost do it again when he continues to stare at me. “I already did.”

“Really?”

“Da.”

“Well, I’ll be damned. I thought I was pretty good at knowing where you’re looking, but clearly, I’m not as good as I think.” Henry leans his elbows on the desk. “The pups haven’t stopped talking about you, by the way.”

I smirk. “Your Alpha upset about the jumping?”

“Nah. Even if the pups weren’t so excited about it, I don’t think he’d have minded.”

“I have always liked him.”

Henry nods. “I take it your visit with Dread went to plan? I read the article.”

“Da.” The phone on Henry’s desk rings, and I dip my chin for him to answer it.

“Hello? Uh-huh. Yep. Who? Free what?”

I sit up. “Frio.”

The dean’s gaze lifts to mine. “That’s it.”

“He is my uncle.”

Henry’s eyes widen as he holds out the phone.

I wave it off. “Put him on speaker.”

He does.

I lean forward. “Hello, Uncle.”
