Selfless Selfishness

"Do you have time to waste, Jane?" Lilim asked in a rather confident tone. "I know you are just trying to stall so you don't have to confess. It's still not too late, you know? Believe me, you will come to regret wasting this chance."

Jane shrugged her shoulders with a confused look on her face and said, "I haven't told her anything for months, so why would me not telling her for one more day make any difference?"

"Do what suits you better."

"She got tossed from the second spot to tenth. Let her recover from that, Lilim," Maria commented with a grin on her face.

"Ninth!" Jane hissed.

After noticing Angelica had gone silent, as though she was lost in a deep thought, Maria nudged Lilim and pointed her gaze at Angelica.

"What's wrong, Jess?" Lilim asked with a curious and concerned look on her face. "I never thought I would see a day where you would seem so serious."

Angelica chuckled softly and uttered, "I was just wondering if moving to the castle was a good idea."
