Return With Islinda's Corpse

"Ugh, this is getting boring," Aldric rolled his eyes upwards when he saw the way Islinda stared at Andre, enraptured with his kindliness. She doesn't even look at him that way. Always reserving that affectionate look for other males. Damn her! And no, he wasn't jealous, just pointing out her annoying trait. 

"Let's get this over with. Didn't you say you have an important reason for coming here, brother? " He intentionally disrupted the moment between them. 

Islinda leaned away from Andre, taking a deep breath and reigning in her turbulent emotions. When she looked at Andre again, it was with intrigue; Islinda was curious to know why he was here too. 

Surely, it wasn't a coincidence that he was here early morning right after that incident with Valerie yesterday. No, Islinda shook her head mentally. It can't be because of that, after all, he wasn't present at the scene and didn't see what happened.
