Better Tell the Truth
As soon as Rain and Alexander left, Clifford turned to Sanya with a direct question, "What's wrong with you? Why do you keep sneaking glances at Alexander?"
He had noticed Sanya acting strangely, despite her efforts to hide it. Clifford knew her too well for her to fool him. They had known each other for years, almost since the day he met Rain. Sanya was Rain's friend from Haven Orphanage, where Rain often volunteered and dragged him along.
It was there that Rain introduced him to Sanya, and since then, the three of them had become close. Their relationship was a bit more complicated, though. Clifford and Sanya often quarrelled, clashing over different opinions, with Rain always stepping in as their referee. Despite the bickering, their bond had grown strong over the years.
Now, seeing Sanya's unusual behaviour was unsettling for him. Something was clearly off, and he was determined to get to the bottom of it.
