Leonel stepped out of the challenge with a smile on his face. But because he was still keeping up appearances, rather than a cocky smile, it looked like a relieved one. He swept Aina into his arms and gave her a huge bear hug, causing her to chuckle.

Leonel scoffed. 'Are you saying you like another man?'

He pretended to be offended, though he could tell Aina's true intentions with ease. With their souls fused, how could he not tell what she actually meant? 

Aina giggled. 'No, I prefer when you're aggressive—'

She cut off her thoughts, suddenly blushing down to her collarbone.
