Luna held back for a while, making Liam all the more curious by the minute, before she finally asked her question.
"I was meaning to ask if you were seeing anyone"
At that exact moment, Liam's mind seemed to implode under the weight of Luna's unexpected question. It wasn't just a casual surprise—it was as if someone had dropped a mental bomb inside his head, shattering every coherent thought he had into disjointed fragments. His expression froze in place, eyes wide and blinking slowly as if trying to reboot his understanding of reality.
Beside him, even Mary looked like she had momentarily lost touch with reason. Her brows shot up, lips parting slightly in disbelief, as if the sheer absurdity of what she'd just heard had short-circuited her ability to process it. For a brief second, both of them exchanged a glance—not one of amusement, but of sheer, unfiltered confusion.
