"What happened between you and Mill?" Mauve blurted, hoping to catch Louis off guard. At first, she had thought to ask the question while both of them were in the room but decided against it as she didn't want to stress Mill any further.
Without blinking, he asked, "What are you talking about?"
Mauve looked confused, wondering if she had misinterpreted. "Both of you seem awkward. I'm sure something happened," she smirked.
"You've had too much time on your hands lately, Mauve. You're seeing things."
Mauve frowned. She had simply been teasing, but Louis sounded very serious, and it was clear he wanted her to drop the question. "Yeah," she replied halfheartedly.
