Apart from her brother, Evan Livares was the only one who cared about her happiness and her dream and that could never be a small matter for someone like Aviana Valos. It must be why she struggled for words to say when she heard Evan. It was so unexpected.
Like always, Evan was patient with her as he quietly let her take her time. When Aviana eventually spoke up, more than a minute had passed.
"Do you know that you always sound like my brother?" She asked and remarked, "I feel like you're always worried about me."
"I just want you to be happy," Evan Livares replied after a brief thought. "You look the most beautiful when you smile genuinely."
If any other guys were to say these words to her, Aviana knew that she would be very quick to keep her distance from them but... she didn't know why she didn't feel that defensive when it was Evan who said those words. Instead, knowing that he cared about her happiness gave her an unfamiliar yet pleasant feeling.
