For the first time in years, his heart skipped a beat. Prince turned to her again, wondering if she's sincere. When he met her eyes, it was. Aria looked at him with empathy, similar to a prey thanking the predator from backing out when he's supposed to slit his throat.
It was the exact same eyes Aria exuded.
Prince didn't know why he stared longer than her. Why does he can do that to Avery?
Even though they're in a relationship for 3 years, aiding with the plan, plotting points of weakness that Avery wouldn't find out, Prince couldn't look her this strong in the eye. Aria was different.
She is kind, even if Prince only talked to her twice.
Prince only knew that if he looked at her, she'll smile back. For now, it'll be a regular.
Aria added, "I hope I can pay you back, but you know… I'm not that wealthy like you are. I just live on a country side with nothing of a job but to assist on flower arranging. That's what I do in life."
