Thalia's POV
I was sharing some of Zeph's past with Rihane when my ability «Intution» peaked presence of someone nearby, but that person didn't have malice towards us.
'But, I should atleast tell Rihane'
"Forgive me, ladies if I am intruding on your friendly time."
However, before I could do so, a voice interrupted our conversation.
'Zeph!'
My heart raced at the sight of him, but I hesitated.
What if he had overheard my words to Rihane? What if he was upset with me?
Should I just apologize?
"I really missed you, Thalia."
'What?'
My eyes widened in astonishment as Zeph enveloped me in a warm hug.
It was like a dream, and I couldn't believe it.
His scent enveloped me, and I couldn't help but take a deep breath, savoring the familiarity of his fragrance.
It was a scent I had come to associate with comfort and safety.
