Are you still pining for that asshole?

"Are you still moping and pining for that asshole?" Zaria asked as soon as she returned to her room.

Ximena sat up with a smile. "I thought you wouldn't come back. Didn't Desmond go to the banquet?"

"He did, but I couldn't leave you alone." She kicked off her heels.

"You didn't have to worry about me. I'm alright. You should have more fun." Ximena urged.

Zaria turned to glare at her. "You are not going to change the subject.

Ximena let out a sigh. "There is hardly anything for me to pine. How long have we known each other?"

She shrugged off her feelings. She knew it was insane to even think of having feelings for Liam at this stage. They were not trying to advance their relationship into anything. It was just a dying momentary spark.

" I believe in love at first sight, actually." Zaria sighed.
