Perfect, Malachi thought when he saw Nazneen arriving. He had been waiting for what felt like forever, so he didn't mind if Ares got into a little trouble. As long as that woman kept her hands away from Ravina.
The blazing look in her eyes made him rise from his seat. He only thought it would be fun for a moment, but now he just wanted to continue his day peacefully. He wasn't in the mood for this, and he didn't want to fight a woman. But to his surprise, none of what he expected happened.
Nazneen's lips curved up into a smile that managed to look genuine. "Ares. I was looking for you."
Ares stepped forward as if to meet Nazneen on the way. "I thought we could have lunch." She told him.
Ares looked back at them and gave them a nod. Then his attention returned to Nazneen. "Yes, we should." He said as he walked away with her.
Surprising. Malachi could swear he saw the fire in her eyes before she smiled.
