Amara couldn't help but feel a pang of fear, instinctively taking a couple of steps back, unsure of how to handle Liliana's fury.

In a swift move, Finnian shifted to stand protectively in front of Amara, his eyes fixed on Liliana with a look so intense, it seemed almost palpable.

Liliana halted in front of Finnian, her anger swiftly melting into tears. "Finn, what are you doing? How could you kiss her?" she asked, her voice trembling with hurt.

Sensing that this confrontation was not hers to resolve, she quickly turned and dashed out of the room.

Finnian watched Amara's retreating figure, something in his gaze suggesting he wanted to follow. As his foot shifted slightly in her direction, Liliana noticed and immediately grabbed his arm.
