"Of course I remember, my dear colleague. I should say the same thing about you and Signor Ryder," Arlia calmly replied, slightly displeased that Nigel really meant it when he said that he wanted Hayley alive. Hayley herself bit her lip in disdain, her buried desire to cut him up to pieces resurfacing despite her budding friendship with Sarah, but before either of them could say something else, a loud crash forced them to shield their eyes. While Hayley had a mixture of relief and incredulity in her eyes when she saw Sean, having landed from the skies above smack dab in the middle of the battlefield, the auburn-haired woman certainly didn't expect his arrival. "[i]Mi dispiace[/i], but who are you? I'm not terribly fond of gatecrashers, I'm afraid," she replied, clearly unhappy to see an outsider in her affair.
