"What did she want?" Rizor asked as I made my way back to the group.
He must have seen me speaking with Mia, as his expression darkened, conveying a silent warning: 'You better not be colluding with her!' The best course of action was to tell the truth; if we intended to make our partnership last, there had to be at least a degree of trust between us.
"She wanted me to reconcile with Liam. She seemed worried about him—probably just playing the part of his girlfriend. Nothing to worry about."
"I don't trust her. Girls like her are too ambitious; they'll latch onto anyone who holds a bit of power. She'd get rid of Liam if she thought you had more worth to her."
"I know how she is, but I think she's genuinely attached to him. She has strong convictions about Liam; I could tell that much when I was speaking to her. I don't think she'd actually betray him."
