With all her might, Alicia fought for calmness. She tried her best to hide the shock and horror that struck her as fast and efficient as she could, all the while hoping that Ezekiel noticed nothing yet.
"E-Ezekiel?" she managed to say, her eyes now narrowed, questioning.
Zeke said nothing and just stared at her. It seemed he had noticed despite Alicia's effort. Of course, she should've known that nothing could escape this man's eyes so easily like that. She sighed silently. She was not going to say anything about it even if he asks why she had that look in her eyes at the sight of his face.
"So that's your real appearance," Alicia added, acting cool as if the flash of horror in her eyes just a moment ago was nothing but an illusion.
Ezekiel's response was a flat "yes."
