Clearing the Misunderstanding

Eve quickly pushed Alaric, breaking the hug. She looked at him with utter disbelief.

"What did you just say?" she asked him with widened eyes.

Alaric pursed his lips, looking away. He didn't want to repeat those words. What if she would admit yes? How would he react? Would he get mad?

"Alaric… where did you get that crazy idea?" Eve used the same words he uttered against him.

Alaric raised his head, staring at her to meet her gaze. "I always thought you have feelings for Gavin–"

He wasn't able to finish his words as Eve quickly cupped his face. "You were so wrong! I hate Gavin to the core! Who told you such lies?"

Alaric blinked several times, eyeing her with disbelief.
