ELIANA
I'm not sure how to describe the situation because I'm still unclear about her motives.
But I don't sense malice or possessiveness. The feeling I'm getting is similar to that of longing.
Could it be that she doesn't have any friends?
Hmm…
Come to think of it, the intel that we've gathered only showed her family and no friends.
"Lara, I'd much prefer you approach us directly than hide in the shadows. I believe that would be more comfortable."
"Really?" Asked Lara, who sounded hopeful.
Only for her shoulders to droop when she added, "But sometimes, you're too bright."
Eh?
"Do I light up or something?" Her words made me feel like a lightbulb.
"Sometimes."
"Eli, this is pointless. She's too out of it."
Lucian's been impatient since this morning. If not for making him promise only to intervene once something goes wrong, this guy would've hauled me out like a sack of potatoes by now.
*Hisss…*
Lara gnashed her teeth at Lucian, who gave her a side-eye.
