Almost human

 "Lucian," Callista's voice was trembling, there was something in Lucian's gaze that made her scared. Lucian glanced at Callista, confused as to why her voice was shaking.

 

 Abrielle cleared her throat thinking of a way to leave this sticky situation. "Thank you for helping me," she extended her gratitude then stepped back from Lucian. She tried to act as natural as she could.

 

 Lucian nodded, not sparing a word; he naturally walked towards Callista. "Why are you crying? Did something happen?" Lucian asked Callista, her lips quivered touched by his tenderness. 

 

 Abrielle rolled her eyes behind them, then turning away, she scoffed. They are already giving dog food despite not affirming their relationship. 

 

 On her way back to the banquet Abrielle could not shrug off the strange feeling she had. Who was the person Callista was talking to? She clearly doesn't remember a scene like that happening in the novel.
