"Are you his guardian?!" Alaina asks with a hushed tone for god knows why.
"You're Mason? The Mason who helped me before by talking to that douchebag?" Alaina kept flowing her questions but not giving a chance for him to say anything.
"Oh it makes Perfect sense now. You were the one that talked him into letting me go to college and that is why you were so glad to see me there and even asked me if I was ok. Why else would you ask me if I was alright if not knowing the fact that I was stuck living with literally a spawn of the devil." She concluded talking more to herself in convincing that he is the Mason in question, rather than telling him that she figured it out.
"I know you must be very angry right now, but calm down Alaina. There is an explanation for everything." Aspen neither admitted to what she deduced all on her own nor did he deny anything.
