Baffled, Avelina drew her head back, not sure why he directed the question at her instead of giving her an answer.
Is he trying to test me? Or is he afraid to answer me?… She weighed her reasons.
Her heart raced as she considered her next move. She already has an answer in her mind that she could give him, but what if it messes things up? What if it ends up being the opposite of what he wants to hear?
It was not that she was considering what he wanted to hear, but she was simply afraid of messing things up between them.
Avelina seriously thought it through and quickly came up with an idea.
Be straightforward!
She flashed a grin that she usually reserves for moments when she needs to bet on luck and fate.
Draven raised his brows at her, having not expected such an expression to abruptly appear on her face. "Why are you grinning?"
Avelina cleared her throat and folded her arms before saying,
"I don't believe you did it."
