Lucian widened his eyes in alarm. He looked at River as if this woman were holding a knife and was going to kill him.
"What? No! You misheard that!" Lucian immediately went to hide behind Ranon's back, while the latter smirked to see how upset River was.
Water trickled down to her cheek, following her jawline, while her hair was bundled up with a towel above her head.
She was not Hazel, and that was very obvious, but Ranon's feeling couldn't be mistaken. Her appearance changed completely, but it was still the woman that he loved, and Ranon recognized her, no matter what name she used or how her appearance looked.
The annoyance in her eyes, the way she pressed her lips when she was pissed. Her sharp, deadly gaze… He loved her no matter how dangerous she was.
"Misheard?" River took a step closer toward Lucian, which made the man feel threatened by her presence. "You asked Ranon to find a normal woman. Do you think Hazel was not normal?"
