Runa was in Ethan's car, which was now sliding along the road in the middle of the forest, heading towards the outskirts of the city that led to the sea.
"You've been to his house before?" asked Ethan.
"Yes."
"So it's true, you two are dating?"
Silence for a moment. "Yes," answered Runa, quietly.
Admitting her relationship with Arden to Ethan felt wrong. Maybe it was because Ethan knew their true identity, and Runa realize they weren't having a privilege called relationship, just like normal human. They don't deserve to fall in love, be in a relationship, and live happily ever after.
If ever after does exist.
The silence that Ethan gave after was like a slap that momentarily brought Runa back to reality.
Just a few hours ago, she felt like the luckiest girl in the world. The moment Arden touched her and created a truly intimate moment between them.
And now Runa has to grapple with anxiety about Arden's safety.
