Enzo:
“Why did you choose to defend her?” Katherine asked, and I rolled my eyes, not wanting to respond to the woman’s questions.
Her eyes met mine but the woman was quick to look down at her feet, avoiding my gaze, knowing that I didn’t want to talk to her.
“Enzo, are we going to keep ignoring one another for a long time?” She asked, lowering her voice, toning her attitude down. “I’ve missed you presence with me and so far, lately, all I find myself doing is trying to fix things that I don’t even know….
“You know very well that I don’t turn against you if not needed. But considering the fact that you don’t seem to know me very well, then the two of us can choose to stay away from one another…”
“I do not want to stay away:
you, Enzo.” She said, and I smirked, knowing that it was because of Alaria’s presence here. Had it been any other day, and had she known that there was no ‘competition‘ against her; the woman wouldn’t have cared. She never did before, I doubt that she should be doing so now.
“The two of us spent days not talking before. You even chose to ignore me for months before. Am I supposed to believe that…?”

I shouldn’t expect her to know when I was annoyed and when I wasn’t.
“Don’t worry, baby. You just go and tend to Alonso. We haven’t seen him since he got back from school and after what happened at the ceremony, I am still very disappointed in him.” I said, letting her know that this wasn’t something that I was going to ignore.
