Hearts and Ashes
The last part comes out softer, almost in disappointment, as I glance down.
"Oh." Ahvi’s eyes search my face, curiosity sparkling in her gaze. "But you’ve kissed at least once, right? Because, honestly, the tension between you two is so thick it’s suffocating. Everyone feels it."
I bite my lip before answering. "We have kissed."
Ahvi shrieks again, bouncing on her feet. "I knew it!"
"But that’s it," I say, cutting her celebration short. "Nothing more."
She grabs my hand, her voice softer now. "He cares about you, Arwyn. Deeply. I’ve never seen him care this much about anyone."
