"Lincoln, get down."
Lincoln was unhurried. He held Zayla's shoulders and brought her in front of him.
Before Zayla reacted, he grabbed her ankle.
Lincoln wanted to make sure whether Zayla was hurt.
Then, he said, "Zayla."
Zayla met Lincoln's eyes.
His eyes were deep-set and brooding.
"Since it is an agreed privilege, you cannot go back on your word.
"Reserve it for the time being, and give it to me later."
Hearing Lincoln's words, Zayla compressed her lips in surprise.
Had he known something?
That was impossible.
It was something related to Zayla's grandpa's death. Although Theodore and Lincoln were close, Theodore couldn't tell Lincoln about that.
Zayla thought Lincoln was trying to sound out something.
"That's impossible."
Zayla pushed Lincoln away hard and stood up.
"There is no such privilege, and there will be no such opportunity."
