Ariana and Zavren sat together as Zavren turned to her. It was already getting late, and he wanted her to rest well or...
Ariana simply listened to the melody of the instruments while Zavren leaned gently to her side and spoke calmly.
"Now I'm curious… what exactly did you think I was going to surprise you with tonight?"
Ariana's ears warmed instantly—that was what gave her away. Her heart began to pound loudly in her chest as she turned to him. The moment their gazes locked, Ariana quickly looked away. She had really thought it was something else, and now she couldn't help but feel like she was the naughty one here.
"Oh, sweetheart… you're getting so naughty. I don't know who taught you this, but I'm interested," Zavren said as he watched Ariana eye him suspiciously.
'Why is he acting like he's not responsible…? Take responsibility,' Ariana muttered in her mind, making Zavren chuckle as his lips curled into a wide smile.
