Greg, who had been reporting, paused. "Is the temperature too low? Should I turn it up?"
"It's fine, keep going," Alaric replied, rubbing his nose. His body was in top shape, like steel, so it was strange. Could someone be talking bad about him?
Back at the mall, Emerald shot Ethan a venomous glare. "A scumbag like you is so repulsive, I feel disgusted just looking at you."
The thought of Ethan and Ariza pretending to be something they weren't left a bad taste in her mouth.
Caroline, heavily pregnant, was stopped by security, but Max stepped in to protect Emerald from the crowd.
Emerald took Iris's hand and walked away, the two leaving quietly.
Iris looked at Emerald with admiration. "That was amazing. I can't even explain how satisfying it was to see you put him in his place."
