After the introductions were done, the group moved back to the living quarters. Only Alice remained behind, as she wanted to continue training while the memory of Erik and Liv's fight was still clear in her mind.
They sat down on the couches in the same way as before, with Erik and Astrid next to each other, and Liv across from them. The only addition was Elora, who was still sitting on Erik's shoulder.
"You tricked me…!" Astrid complained, arms crossed, and eyes narrowed on Liv. Then she swiveled her angry gaze towards Elora, "And you should have told me!"
Both Elora and Liv wore shit-eating grins as they let Astrid's accusations wash over them. "I'm sorry, little angel, but I wanted to see if you'd tell me about you and Erik yourself," Liv chuckled mischievously. Then, her expression became almost comically pleading, "Please forgive me?"
Hey guys, I'm sure some of you have already noticed my new novel is up, and I just wanted to assure you all that my dedication to this novel won't change, now or in the future. I'll always upload at least one chapter a day for this one :)
In the meantime, however, any support to help my new novel get contracted is appreciated!
