Their attention shifted to the brown-haired man before Natasha asked, "You know about it, Professor... have you informed anyone?"
Natasha's reaction was expected, but it did not stop Elana from feeling hurt.
From the way she looked, it was clear that Natasha was already treating this as something taboo.
