“Aaron..” Emily screamed in excitement and ran towards him as soon as she spotted him.

“Em, my darling..” Aaron called out and opened his arms wide for her. Emily jumped into his arms and Aaron twirled her around, both of them laughing with abandon.

Zahir's eyes narrowed as he watched Aaron twirl Emily around in his arms, their laughter ringing out like some kind of twisted melody in his ears. He crossed his arms, glaring at the scene as if his sheer annoyance alone could pry them apart.

"What is this guy, a human merry-go-round?" He muttered under his breath, his fingers tapping impatiently against his biceps. He wasn’t even sure why it bothered him so much. It’s not like he had any claim over Emily. Still, something about seeing her wrapped up in Aaron’s embrace made his blood boil.

Liam, standing beside him, glanced over and smirked.

"You alright there, Zahir? You’re staring pretty hard." Liam teased and Zahir scoffed, trying to sound indifferent.
