Ziana blinked, her gaze fixed on the infuriating creature sporting an impish grin. No, this couldn't be right. She couldn't allow herself to be pulled into this infuriating whirlwind of emotions. With a determined shake of her head, she dismissed the intrusive thoughts attempting to breach her defenses.
"Step out!" she commanded, her glare met with an amused smirk on the reaper's face. Zayden, well aware of his knack for provoking her, complied with her order and alighted from the car. As he positioned himself on the opposite side of the vehicle, Ziana hurled the car keys in his direction, her tone sharp as she issued her next instruction, "Drive!"
Exhibiting an indignant scowl, she strolled over to his side and claimed the driver's seat. She couldn't help the blush creeping onto her cheeks – embarrassment, now too, was part of this confounding equation. With a muted sigh, she closed the car door, her face betraying a hint of self-consciousness.
