teased.
An embarrassed flushed spread throughout my body, and | glared at Richard and then at Ava for their scheming.
It was their fault that | was in this situation. But neither of them were looking at me. Richard was focusing on the
road, and Ava was studying her nails. | knew that they weren't making eye contact withon purpose so that
they could give Alexander alone twith me.
Gai was looking at us with a worried expression that | wished | could ask her about. Aiden was staring atwith
