Caden saw through Alice's little game. “Fooling them, are we?”

Alice looked at him and asked, "What else should I be doing?"

Caden chuckled at that. “Platonic marriages must be really interesting.”

Alice pressed her lips together in frustration.

It was as if his appearance had been sculpted by the gods themselves. Driven by anger, Alicia placed a hand on her face and leaned in slowly, seeking out her lips.

Caden turned his head to the side. “What are you trying to do?”

Alice squeezed harder, refusing to give him a chance to dodge.
