"Can I help you?" Michael asked, his emerald eyes turning sharp as he stared at the fallen youth who had tried to knock him over.
In an instant, the gazes of all but a few youths within the room turned, focused on the scene, sensing a fight brewing.
"You must be Melody's fiancé," Braydon stepped over the youth who had been toppled to the ground, coming face to face with Michael, wearing a serious expression. "I'm surprised that you were able to pass, are you sure the examiner didn't make a mistake?"
His words caused chatter to erupt around the room.
Michael scowled inwardly, disregarding the poor attempt at banter. He was more concerned about his first words.
