Don’t be so dramatic.” “You know, I’m not entirely convinced that you’re not trying to kill me.” I quirk an eyebrow at him. “So, you don’t trust me after all?” “I don’t trust that,” he says, throwing a skeptical glance at the green paste I’m rubbing onto his wound. I laugh loudly, shaking my head at him. He suddenly goes still at my touch, his eyes dancing between mine with a small smile pulling at his lips.
