Kyle watched as Kay left the house and shook his head.
He should have known that Kay would want to see, and talk to, Sari. He stepped out just when she was about to pass him by and she stumbled a bit upon his sudden appearance.
She pouted.
She should have known he would have known.
"She's a nice girl," Kay said tentatively.
"Yes, she is," Kyle agreed, looking at the house one last time, "Let's go back."
Kay observed Kyle.
While it was true that he was still acting normally around her, and that his gaze and words were soft and gentle like always … she could detect the coldness underneath.
When he turned away from her, his eyes were cold and his face was stoic. The cold aura around him was subtle, but it was there.
Kay grabbed his arm and when he turned to look at her, that coldness dissipated and warmth was back as he asked gently, "What is it?"
