THE first, and only, person who flashed in Snow's mind was a young man with long gray hair and light green eyes. Assil Brewer. His childhood friend who turned into his sweetheart. And now, a complete stranger. At least for Assil, right now, he was only that. A stranger.
Thinking that, he felt his chest tightened. As if he wouldn't be able to breathe in a few seconds. To prevent that, he took a deep breath and tried his best to calm his mind.
As he was doing that, Astrid quickly noticed that something was wrong. Snow just froze, and the hand holding the cup of milk tea was shaking. The other only showed this kind of reaction after Kiran asked if he had an ideal type. So, it's safe to assume that his state now had something to do with that.
It took Astrid back to the strange reaction Snow had when he met Ash. Outside, Snow might have looked like he didn't like Ash because of how cold and stiff he was acting in front of the other. But Astrid didn't think so.
