[System Notification: Fedora has cancelled her request. She no longer wants to be tamed by you.]
"..."
Fedora and Linda just kept looking at each other. I was staring and the other was glaring.
The room held its silence a second too long, Gaffer had no choice but to exhale lightly. He glanced between the two women before straightening just a fraction.
"I'll leave you two," he said, tone casual, but his eyes lingered on Linda for a brief moment longer than necessary.
Linda's fingers tightened slightly around the silver slim beast. She didn't want him to go. At least, not now with Fedora here.
Was she even safe with Fedora around?
And what was it with Fedora? One minute she's sending requests to be tamed and another minute she is canceling the request, not wanting to be tamed any more!
"Stay," Linda almost said, but the word never made it past her lips.
Gaffer had already stepped back.
"I will go with my son as he is already asleep," he added, nodding toward the creature.
