"What is it about? You can whisper in my ear so no one hears," suggested Alen. Fey brought her mouth close to Alen's ear. Ren stopped in his tracks, who was carrying a pile of books. Fey raised her hand slowly to Alen's shoulder. Lopsidedly, she smiled as she glanced at Ren.
BRUK!
The book that Ren was holding dropped to the floor. Ren stepped quickly towards Alen and Fey. Without hesitation, she pushed Fey's hand off Alen's shoulder and slapped the woman hard. The sound of the slap made the customer focus on him. Ren gasped as the emotions overcame her.
"Ren, what are you doing?!" snapped Alen as he stood up. Fred didn't care before, but the book he was reading was on the table.
Ren gasped. She immediately looked at Alen with a look of disbelief. The tightness in his chest began to rise, then slowly became pain. His eyes were shaking with puddles of tears.
