Christine's Pov

Fanuel pulls away a moment later, his face wearing a fake disgusted look.

"Christ! Claire, you're going to break my bones." He groans and she makes a face at him.

"Shut up Fanuel. You are annoying."

She turns to me then and wraps her arms around me.

"We finally met Christine. You're so pretty; I imagined Fanuel was kidding when he said that."

Wait, what? I turn to look at him but he is keeping himself busy, sipping away from his glass.

"He said that?" I squeak in disbelief. I know I sound like a moron..

She releases me and reaches to tuck a stray strand of hair...
