Over the next few days, Aiden noticed a few strange changes around him, and perhaps one of the most surprising was Shiloh.
The boy who had once thrown bomb cards at him, who mocked him at every opportunity, now seemed… restrained. That didn't mean Shiloh had turned into a saint overnight- far from it- but his usual snide remarks were significantly toned down. Instead of outright insults, Shiloh settled for dry, sarcastic comments that, compared to his past behavior, almost felt mild.
Still, the way Shiloh looked at Aiden hadn't changed. There was always that glint of disdain in his eyes whenever they crossed paths, that simmering resentment just beneath the surface. Yet somehow, Shiloh kept himself in check, like there was an invisible line he refused to cross now.
