Ilyana drew a line on the fluffy duvet covering her body. She stared at it and continued her words to Lev who had listened to her so closely, "I thought of him as a friend, no more than that but I have always found him as a pillar of support throughout my childhood. Like a brother, a brethren. People around us, however, starts to think that we are in a relationship which I strongly denied and back then, he did it too."
"What had happened?" Lev inquired. If they were really friend to Ilyana, she must have held the friendship closely to her heart, he knows her well and knows she was someone who would protect her friends even if it turns out that their deepest heart was no different than a puddle of dirty mud.
