Sam and Adriana had just finished their post-battle bath and descended when Ava informed them of a visitor currently being received by Helena, the acting matriarch.
Ava didn't wait for them to reply; she just took a glance at them. Their scents were literally the same, or it would be more accurate to say that Adriana smelled exactly like Sam.
This made Ava blush from ear to ear, and she hurriedly ran away before Sam could grab her hand.
"She is so shy," Sam commented with a helpless smile.
"Well, compared to before, she is so much better now."
"She was very reserved and always avoided social interaction. She wouldn't even talk to us much, but now she is slowly growing out of her shell in the name of getting close to you," Adriana explained with a smile.
"Don't worry. It won't be long before I remove that shell from her permanently," Sam replied mischievously.
"I believe you," Adriana ruffled his hair affectionately.
