Anthony looked at Lysandra, who was sitting on her bed with one leg crossed over the other and her arms crossed beneath her chest, wearing a cold expression on her face. Her eyes followed every movement of Anthony's, as if she were assessing him intensely. After going to the kitchen and grabbing a glass of water, Anthony returned to Lysandra's bedroom. They were both now in their room assigned by the academy. Anthony took a chair and sat across from Lysandra, who was staring at him, clearly expecting an explanation.
Internally, Anthony thought, "She's so beautiful when she's upset." He knew she would be upset, especially after what happened with the other woman. He decided to address the issue directly: "Do you think I betrayed you?" he asked directly. Lysandra looked at him and shook her head. Anthony continued, "Does it bother you that I accepted another woman?"
