You dare to reject me !

As Eva held her ground and asserted her feelings, Andrew's reaction was far from expected. His pause, followed by a sharp response, sent a shiver down her spine. The intensity in his eyes was unsettling, yet she refused to waver in her resolve.

"What do you mean by love someone?" he retorted, his voice laced with a mix of anger and disbelief. 

"Who? I don't think any other guy in this village stands a chance to even talk to you. They are all timid, intimidated by your status as a skyer. You're like a goddess in their eyes. They would never dare to approach you, let alone engage in a meaningful conversation. So, say it again, Eva Sinclair. Who is this person that you think you love?"

"The only guy who is around you all the time is Simon," Andrew remarked, his gaze shifting towards Simon, a glimmer of realization crossing his face.
