"Of course, I was just saying."
Lia said cheerfully.
Rex Morales was soon driven away.
Dylan Collins returned and took Hallie Morgan away. When they got home, Hallie bounced in excitedly.
"Hey, did you forget something?"
"What?"
Hallie turned around and saw him standing behind her, teasingly watching her.
Before she could react, he suddenly leaned in. He lifted the pendant on her neck, pulling her towards him.
Hallie's breathing halted, his scent filled her nostrils. He bent down and looked at her, tilting his head slightly, his eyes askew, staring at her pendant.
"What? You just said the pendant was for me, now you want it back?" Hallie was surprised.
"Didn't you just mention that there were too many layers of clothing outside and we needed to properly appreciate the pendant at home?"
"..."
That... that was just a random comment she made.
