"Now, tell me why didn't you call me when you could call Lana?" Hope asked in a stern voice. The fact that Kace was able to call Lana but didn't want to talk to her, had been bothering Hope to say the least.
"Because I fought someone who can read minds and I don't want that creature to have a chance to know about you further." Kace caressed her cheeks, "Since you are always inside my mind, calling you would only make me think about you a lot. You are quite a distraction, you know?"
Kace then leaned over to kiss her temple while whispering against her skin. "A beautiful distraction."
Hope felt giddy and wanted to squeal when she heard Kace's words, but she didn't do that and embarrassed herself by acting like a silly teenager, well, although she was indeed a silly teenager from a certain point.
"It's already late, why don't you go to sleep?" Kace whispered again, sounding sweet and gentle.
