His tone was even, almost indifferent, but Lilith wasn't fooled. There was something underneath..something she couldn't quite put her finger on.

Her gaze flickered to him, studying the sharp lines of his face, the way his jaw tensed ever so slightly.

A slow, knowing smile touched her lips.

"Oh, it's not about liking or disliking." She tilted her head, eyes glinting with amusement. "I just prefer knowing who I'm dealing with."

His gaze darkened, the darkness of his eyes turning stormy.

"You forgave him easily," he muttered, his voice low, almost bitter, as a shadow crossed his face.

Lilith let out a small laugh, tilting her head. "And you're the one who told me to forgive him."
