"Could you stop looking at me like that, it's becoming creepy," Islinda complained when Maxi wouldn't stop grinning at her foolishly. One more stupid grin and she would slap it off her face.
"What?" Maxi pretended to be oblivious to what she was saying, however, there was still that knowing yet frivolous smiling.
The gods help her! Islinda knew she wouldn't hear the end of it today. Just her luck that Maxi stumbled upon them in the middle of a kiss.
"So…" Maxi tilted her head in Aldric's direction, "The both of you are together now?"
Aldric turned to Islinda who busied herself at that moment by looking out the mirror and then at the space between them. He said, "Why don't you ask her?"
"Why me?" Islinda retorted, "She clearly asked you the question."
Aldric's lips lifted sarcastically, "Why do you think so? I don't want to embarrass you by assuming something you don't want us to be."
