Brennan didn't get the chance to respond because Castian walked into the office and looked at the two of them in confusion. "Hi, guys. What's going on?"
"I felt sorry for him so I hugged him," Harmony said honestly as she pulled away.
Brennan blushed. "It's really not a big deal. I'll be fine. You don't have to worry about me."
"I think I do though."
Castian was clearly still confused. "…what is it you have to worry about exactly?"
"Brennan's feelings for Talori."
"Harmony!"
"What? It's not like he's going to tell anyone," Harmony said with a shrug. "Are you, Castian?"
"No. I had already sort of guessed anyway," he replied with an apologetic glance at Brennan, who let out a heavy sigh.
"Great. Am I really that obvious?"
"Only to those who see you a lot," she tried to reassure him. He didn't seem particularly reassured. His blush had only grown deeper so his cheeks were a much darker blue than usual.
