"You already know I can't hold back my curiosity," Aria said with a sly smile. "Remember what I said last time? That we'd meet again—and that this time, I wouldn't let you off the hook?"
My eye twitched slightly at her words, but I bit back a response.
She had the upper hand right now. No matter how much I wanted to fire back, I wasn't in the right position to do so.
She leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand, her gaze sharp and a little too amused for my liking.
"So, let's skip the small talk. You and Leon… are you two dating? Are you gay? Or are both of you?"
Straight to the point, huh?
I froze for a second—not because of the question itself, but because of the relief that followed.
She hadn't suspected the truth.
At least… not yet.
As long as she believed Leona was a boy, we were safe. That alone was enough to keep me from losing my cool.
