The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Susan peered at Ian a few times with confusion. Why is he suddenly helping me? Did his mother nag at him to help me before she left?

Crack!

A sudden sharp sound cut through the silence.

Susan looked over to Ian and saw that he had snapped the scallions into two parts.

There was a silence that hung in the air for a while before Susan finally broke it.

"You have to do it this way. Come, I'll show you how."

Her fair fingers reached for the scallions in his grasp and patiently showed him how to prepare them.

Ian lowered his head and watched intently.

He was surprised that she didn't chase him out of the kitchen. With the stalk gone from his fingers, he let out a relieved sigh and shifted his gaze to the tiny beads of sweat on the tip of Susan's nose.

Each bead was clear and shiny, like the morning dew bathing under the soft morning sun.

"Okay."

Susan finally finished preparing the scallions and passed them over to Ian.

As she looked up at him, a hint of uneasiness flashed across his face swiftly, and he turned his face to the other side.

Susan didn't comment anything about his weird expression.

After that, none of them spoke until they finished preparing the dishes.
