She looked up-and immediately locked eyes with Asher's.
His gaze was deep and quiet. As always, there was little warmth behind it, but tonight... there was something else flickering beneath the surface. Something she couldn't quite read.
"I cbecause I wanted to," he said. His voice was even, no hesitation, no emotion.
The seriousness in his tone and the way he said it made Jean freeze for a second.
She pressed her lips together and stood there silently.

A flicker of hesitation and struggle darted across his eyes.

In her words, no joy appeared in Asher's eyes. Instead, a trace ofm something dim and unreadable passed through them. Good friends...
He repeated those two words in his head.
A bitter taste welled up in his chest.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he quickly buried every bit of emotion in his eyes.
