Lila muttered a jumble of words before excusing herself and walking away at once. She could not believe how shameless Fiona was but then she was trying to understand her; she had tried to do the same thing just a few days ago. She had been trying to put them together so why was she angry now that the woman was taking action by herself?Lila had Victoria come over later in the morning. "Oh my goodness, you did not tell me that you lived in such a lovely place," Victoria gushed as soon as they got into the house."I am sure that you live in a much better place." Victoria rolled her eyes and shrugged."I mean this place looks more like a home than any other house I have been in in the last ten years." Lila tried to ignore that what her sister said was right."I saw your ad," Toria said, breaking the silence between them. Lila knew that her sister was there because of the ad, but she did not want to be the one to bring it up first."I am sure you did; it's pretty popular right now." Lila

Lila stood in the middle of the room, beating herself up.

At first, she thought she was being paranoid, but then it turned into a trend for him towards her.He would wake up extra early and even skip breakfast just so he did not have

Lila was tired of the awkward air between her and Levi; they were supposed to be friends, and she wanted that back. The one where they could talk and not get at each other's throats, and they could just coexist without anyone feeling threatened. She wanted that and because she knew that Levi was most likely not to come forward first, she decided to break the ice between them and speak to him first.She went down that morning early and met Levi back from his exercise, gulping down water in the kitchen. Seh cleared her throat to announce her presence. "I want to talk to you; can we talk?" she asked, pulling a chair at the breakfast table and taking a seat without giving him many options to opt out.Levi closed up the bottle and dropped the bottle to the table before sitting down opposite her. "The air between us is driving me insane and I want to call a truce," she said. She had practised a great speech in the mirror that morning but as soon as she saw his arms and biceps on display, al
