A twisted creature dragged itself across the screen.
It's disjointed limbs were accompanied by the classic horror sound cue of shrieking strings. But Amara didn't seem to be paying much attention at this moment.
"I heard about Selene," she suddenly voiced out.
Alarm bells suddenly rang in Victor's head. "Oh—uh, yeah, I mean, it's not like that or anything. She's just... a friend. We're not together or—"
Amara turned to him with a smile. "Victor, relax. You don't have to explain anything to me."
Halfway through another flustered explanation, he shut his mouth.
'Which one of those idiots told her?'
She looked back at the screen. "Besides... I have a boyfriend, remember?"
The words landed like a slap coated in honey. Gentle, but painful.
Victor tried to force a chuckle. "Right. Of course."
Amara smiled faintly. "You deserve to be happy, Victor, especially after all the grief you've endured. If the girl's nice and likes you... maybe give her a chance."
