Silence fell between them again, broken only by the distant sounds of the city and Melisa's increasingly labored breathing. Armia spoke again.
"Darien was such an annoying little shit," she said.
[Okay, wasn't expecting that,] Melisa thought, blinking in surprise.
Armia continued, seemingly oblivious to Melisa's confusion.
