Mirage lowered his gaze to look at her. He smiled and said, "Thank you for understanding."
After saying that he immediately shifted his eyes to look towards where the two terrifying forces were fighting to their deaths.
He didn't manage to see Bella's expression and the small flinch she made when he smiled earlier.
