"So?" Aries was lying on her tummy, using her folded arms as her pillow. Her eyes fixed on Abel lying on his side, propping his temple against his knuckles. His other hand casually caressed her back.
"Is my situation that hopeless to render you to silence?" she asked when a minute of silence passed after informing him of her dilemma.
"No." Abel blinked ever so tenderly and shook his head.
"Then why are you so silent? I can't help but overthink."
"I was... amused, darling." He shrugged. "I can't help but wonder if you seduced me last night because you need me for this matter."
"Of course not. Goodness, my darling beloved. I love you." She frowned, fluttering her eyelashes coquettishly. But alas, her sweet reply only raised more suspicion.
"You're using me?"
"No... I'm not... how dare I...?"
