Maybe, it was heaven's will

The magical night Cosette was expecting for Asher and Mia didn't happen, but that was fine. At least her night with Maxen was magical enough to remember. Maxen and Cosette didn't idle for long, taking advantage of the confrontation in the hall to sneak away. Although Cosette had a good grasp of the situation on their way out. 

"Wait!" 

Maxen and Cosette stopped in the hallway, going to the exit, turning their heads back to see the owner of the voice. 

Asher. 

Asher huffed before he marched in their direction, stopping one meter away from them. 

"What?" Cosette frowned while Maxen's eyes shone with genuine wonder. 

"Before you two go, can I speak with you, Cozie?" Asher didn't beat around the bush, keeping his eyes on Cosette. The latter knitted her brows even more, glancing at Maxen on instinct, as if seeking his approval.
