He fancies you!

The warmth of the hearth soothed her, but the hot tea in her delicate touch almost made her forget about her concerns. Ophelia pursed her lips, her gaze meeting Lev's, which was almost permanently fixed on her. 

Sighing, her gaze was drawn to Sasha and Vladmir, who were also seated and holding cups of tea. They appeared surprised rather than curious.

"So..." Vladimir drewled.

Ophelia arched her brow. "Do you have any further questions?" She had to inquire.

"Of course I do!" Vladmir exclaimed, tsking. "Are you scared of your brother?"

"No." Ophelia took a sip of her tea and muttered.

Vladmir slowly nodded. "So, why didn't you two hug?"

"Enough with the probing questions, Vlad," murmured Sasha to her brother. She noted how Ophelia and Lev appeared to be bothered by their presence.

She rose to her feet. "Let's go," she said to Vladmir, who rose up with a pout on his lips.
