"Can you stay away from Vincent?"
Ashlyn's piercing gaze stared intently at Owen. She saw his serious expression but behind it she could also see traces of concern. Owen was really worried about her safety. Whatever had happened between him and Vincent earlier, she really wanted to know.
"Owen, what happened?" She asked in a soft tone and Owen replied her back with a question.
"What do you mean?"

"Before we ate dinner... What happened between you and Vincent."
"Nothing." He said bluntly and it earned him a doubtful look from Ashlyn which he read well as, "I don't believe you."
"Fine. I just hate him." He added this time showing slight irritation and looked away from Ashlyn.
"Why?"
