Puri stared at those green eyes begging to be saved. Instead of laughing and consoling the other, she tilted her head to the side. She retracted the tilt first before saying, "Uh, I just thought you do. I mean, you've been talking about him nonstop. You are even calling him by name now. Also, you're sad he's not around anymore. You're always out because he shouldn't be breaking in the inner court, right?"
Eann covered the upper half of his face with a hand. "…wasn't it you who first said I should stop coming with him? You even called him 'stalker' multiple times."
"…oh, yeah, I did that." Puri played with her garden shears, cutting air. "When we were gathering the other concubines, Henrik spoke to me about it. I just realized… maybe I'm seeing it wrongly. What if you're not avoiding him at all? What if you like hanging out with him?"
