This isn't really a comfort, Declan Gill watched him rescue her, even if he was unwilling, he would still give him some face. Mark Reed had this confidence.
"Really? How do you know?"
The girl's eyes lit up as she looked at Mark Reed, thinking that he might just be comforting her, and her whole demeanor immediately dimmed again: "What if he comes again?"
"Then..."
Mark Reed suddenly laughed strangely, leaving the girl puzzled.
"Then what, meekly go with him?" Seeing his strange smile, he surely couldn't be saying anything good.
"Just tell him, you're with me now."
Mark Reed raised an eyebrow, this was definitely something she'd never get to say.
"Will it work?"
The girl scrutinized the man beside her, suspiciously staring into his slightly amused eyes, the deep gaze unfathomable.
Accidentally looking into them, her heart twitched suddenly, hurting a bit, and souring a bit, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look again.
