"I too, love you, Thalia,"
A soothing and warm voice reached her ears, making her face turn crimson as she retorted with a miffed voice, "I don't believe you"
Zeph hugged her while sitting, hearing her words clearly wanting more reassurance, "How do I make you believe me?"
Only the sound of breath existed between them as Thalia withdrew her head and locked eyes with Zeph's golden ones. She didn't need to use her ability; the calmness and affection in his gaze were evident to her.
"I don't know"
"I see," Zeph chuckled slightly at Thalia's averting gaze.
He stood, surprising Thalia, who wished for more time like this.
Noticing her surprise, he leaned close enough to feel their breaths mingling and whispered, "We're in the academy, you see."
Thalia gazed at him blankly, her teary emerald eyes now more vibrant with the sun's rays, becoming even more alluring.
