Do I look like Raven's dad?
Raven never responded to Alaric's messages or calls. Yet, Alaric wasn't bothered by the silence.
He was certain Raven read his messages, and truthfully, Alaric's goal wasn't to get a response.
However, if Raven ever did reply, it would undoubtedly be a delightful moment.
Alaric often found himself pausing, imagining Raven's blank expression as he read the messages.
He could picture Raven's half-lidded eyes showing deep boredom and his lips, which often uttered sharp and biting words, playing in Alaric's mind.
Despite everything, Alaric still felt a certain allure in Raven's unique nature that always piqued his curiosity.
In Alaric's memory, the image of Raven crying in his embrace remained vivid. The open expression, so personal, with eyes that perhaps had never shed tears before.
