Thalassa snapped back to reality, meeting Lysander's gaze. Quickly pushing aside her swirling thoughts, she managed a smile and said, "Nothing much."

"Were you thinking about Leopold?" Lysander asked out of the blue.

Thalassa was taken aback, hurriedly replying, "No, not at all..."

She wasn't lying; that was exactly what she had been thinking about.
