Maple Swallow chuckled, sipping his red wine, his tone cool and indifferent, "I don't have any intention of that. However, it would be better if you could keep your distance from Ava."
Norris Moore nodded, "I understand."

Maple Swallow picked up the wine bottle again and poured her another glass, this time with a kinder tone. "I don't mean it in any other way, I just hope my brother can be happy. Don't be mad."
