Scarlett hid her pitying smile behind her glass, watching Bella with the same fondness one would have for a very sweet but hopelessly naïve little sister. Leo and kind? The words almost made her choke on her drink.
Bella spoke with such conviction, her eyes bright, her voice soft and dreamy, that it almost made Scarlett believe it too. Almost.
But she had seen the real Leo. The man was a walking glacier in human form. He didn't just intimidate people; he froze entire rooms with a single glance.
Yet here Bella was, defending him like he was some misunderstood saint instead of a man who could destroy anyone without blinking.
Scarlett sighed quietly. That's the power of love, I guess.
The guys exchanged amused glances, their smirks saying everything words didn't need to. They could practically see the invisible pink hearts floating around Bella's head every time she mentioned Leo's name. It was ridiculous and adorable.
