"I'm Claire, thank you for joining us."

Her gaze shifted to Eliza, who was now smiling more warmly. Eliza tucked a few strands of her black hair behind her ear, then gazed her almost similar red eyes towards Claire with interest.

"Nice to meet you," Zayn replied, throwing Eliza a meaningful look, as if giving her a subtle warning to limit herself in this conversation.
