"Y-yes, that's right," I replied hesitantly.
So that was how they were going to do it? I'd appreciate it more if Alex could give me a heads up beforehand, though. My relationship with the Gardner's was verbally established, just like that.
Aslan walked over with light steps and put his arm around my shoulder in a friendly manner. "Do you mind if I tag along with this school tour, my dear cousin? No one offered to show the place to me, so I was in a bit of a bind here."
Liar. How could girls in this school miss a chance to appeal to him just based on his face value alone?
"Why not?" I replied as I broke away from his hold. When Cassian raised his head and looked at me with a betrayed expression, I realized I had spoken too soon. I agreed with Aslan without thinking out of habit, but I didn't consider Cassian's opinion at all. I felt guilty somehow.
