Clashing Emotions        

"You . . . what are you doing here?" Xin's voice wavered slightly as he struggled to process the reality that Seraphina was really standing in front of him.

 

Seraphina chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "I needed a breath of fresh air, so I came here to our resort."

 

"Our . . . resort?" Xin repeated, his mind racing to make sense of her words. 

 

Then, realization dawned on him. Azure Cove was part of the Fey's business empire.

 

"Hey, Xin!"

 

Xin and Seraphina turned to see Xin's classmates approaching, their expressions a mix of confusion and disbelief.

 

"Isn't that Seraphina Fey, Xin?"

 

"You two seem close. What's your relationship with her?"

 

"Wait, is it true that you two are really going out?!"

 

"That can't be right? That's Seraphina Fey! THE Seraphina Fey!"
