Peyman has this idea in his heart, but he can't say it clearly.
He frowned. "You can't say that. I'm doing it for you. Conlin is good-looking, but he is mentally ill and won't live long."
He said, looking at Athach's neck with some fire-breathing eyes: "You see, this time Conlin got sick, you just ..."
Athach interrupted him impatiently: "He didn't hurt me; it was a hickey!"
Peyman: "Then he was forcing you in marriage. You don't want to!"
Athach was disinclined to talk to such self-righteous people, so she lifted his feet and left.
However, Peyman stopped her again: "Athach, I know you still like me, and I really want to take you with me. I ..."
He leaned slightly close to Athach.
Athach stepped back warily and looked at Peyman coldly with a pair of beautiful eyes.
