She snorted, before she burst out into laughter, slapping her knee.
"Her? Know about your feelings?" Madeline said in between laughs.
Adrian's frown turned into a pout, "What's that supposed to mean?"
Madeline waved her hand dismissively, telling him whilst fighting the urge to laugh again, "Sorry, sorry. I'm not supposed to be laughing right now. I just– You're hilarious."
"I don't get it."
"Briar doesn't know, because she's just as oblivious as you. And funnily enough, she used to mock me for my feelings towards Xavier. So is that what you came to ask me about, or did you come to ask about something else and I strayed away from that?"
"I just wanted to ask you…"
Adrian looked around warily, making sure there was absolutely no one who would overhear what he was about to say.
"Just say it already."
He leaned closer to her, whispering something in her ear.
