"She is Olivia's best friend, how can I...like her!" Theodore muttered with a blushing face.
Aurora was stunned.
Olivia's best friend?
Her fingers twitched slightly as she processed Theodore's words.
"Olivia's best friend, huh?" she echoed, watching Theodore's expression carefully.
Theodore, still picking out his night suit, pretended to be nonchalant. But the pink hue on his ears betrayed him.
"Yeah, so what? It's not a big deal!" he said quickly, throwing his clothes onto the bed.
Aurora narrowed her eyes.
"Brother…" she started, her voice slow and deliberate, "If it's 'not a big deal,' then why do you look like someone just caught you sneaking an extra dessert?"
Theodore stiffened. "I—I don't!"
Aurora hummed thoughtfully. "You do. And you know what that means?"
Theodore turned around, crossing his arms.
"It means my nosy little sister is overthinking again?"
