"SOREN!"
I was beginning to think he genuinely enjoyed carrying me around.
"And now you're treating me like I'm still a cub!" I whined.
"What do you mean?"
"You keep carrying me around!"
Soren looked genuinely confused, like the answer should have been obvious. "But nothing changed."
I frowned. "Huh?"
"You're still my Blanca."
My brain immediately short-circuited.
The remaining survivors inside my head abandoned ship.
I hated him.
I hated him so much.
Mostly because my heart apparently loved hearing things like that.
Then, as if the situation wasn't bad enough already, he lightly twirled me once.
I immediately buried my face in his shoulder before I embarrassed myself further.
"Satisfied?" he asked.
"No."
"Then why are you hiding?"
"I'm not hiding."
"You are literally hiding."
I refused to answer.
Soren laughed under his breath and carried me over to the couch before sitting down.
Unfortunately, he didn't put me down.
