I was about to tease her, but then I saw her nervously glancing at her laptop too while smiling widely, trying to act innocent even though she herself knew I caught her. In the end, I just slightly
I looked at Adrian. I wanted him to meet Arzhel and get to know more about him as a man, but then, I needed to talk to Arzhel first, knowing that he didn’t like how Adrian reacted back in New York. “I want you to know him,” I started. “He’s a changed man now, Adrian,” I said. “But I need time.” H
