So she dared not ask too much, nor did she dare let him introduce his friends to her. She was afraid he'd ask about her friends.

Felix quickly returned to Listina's side, where she had been waiting for him.

"Felix, I'm craving an apple."

He carved her a couple of bunnies, a little trick he used in the past to charm her. He was still a pro at it.

Maja's fingers danced on the keyboard, her face composed.

"It's true. Holden's calling him back. As for the sweetheart, I really wouldn't know."

Carol munched on fruit, sighing before studying Maja's expression.
