"Okay… now ARE you SURE you're not in love with me?" Maria asked slowly, pointing at him as if he was some dangerous species she was trying to classify. "Because this is getting weird. Genuinely weird. I feel SCARED now."
Her tone was so serious it almost echoed in the water around them.
Razeal didn't even blink.
He just stared down at her with those half-lidded, deadpan, annoyed as hell eyes of his…
Then he slowly shook his head like she was the most delusional woman alive.
"Whatever," he muttered. Then, emotionlessly, he added, "You're dreaming, woman. I have no interest in women. And even if I did want anything to do with women, it certainly wouldn't be you." He didn't even look back.
He just continued walking forward like her existence didn't matter.
Maria froze.
Her mouth hung open.
Her finger was still pointed at him but now she looked more confused than insulted.
