“Well you’d do the same for me right? Aren’t this what peers are for?” she asked, trying to use a neutral word to define their relationship. In the past she would have batted eyelashes and caressed his arm while saying that sentence, but there was something else, she couldn’t bring herself to play so openly with Rian’s affections.
Or perhaps she was also a bit afraid of rejection.
“For now w I will do that; let’s see if the research brings out something else” she said with a nod “yes, you owe me a big one indeed”. She said half heartedly, past Ely would have wiggled at the perspective of having pulled so easily a favor from him but she was deflated now.
“No need to thank me” she said with a smile, wondering what would happen once betrayal struck with him. Would the anger delete the good memories too? Or would he mourn moments like this?.
