"He did, but do you really belong to him?"
At Clive's words, Astrid felt a huge lump go down in her throat.
She had never wanted to make it obvious till they left but apparently, Jareth's attitude already made it obvious to all and now they do not even think they are together.
While she was still processing his words in her mind, Clive used his big hands to push the door further open and took a step inside the house.
His actions had broken her from her reverie and she instinctively took a step backwards away from him.
"I belong to him." Astrid said out on a bold front as she darted her gaze back to him.
The look in his eyes told her he did not believe her but she couldn't care less. She was going to take her stand as it was.
Lovers were allowed to have a fight. Yes, she would say that was what was happening.
Jareth still loves her unconditionally and would deal with anyone who so much as touch her.
