I felt frozen in place as Rhys's intense gaze bore into mine. His question hung in the air between us, loaded with implications. Before I could answer, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. With a few quick taps, he turned the screen toward me.
"Then explain this," he demanded.
My heart stopped as I stared at a video playing on his screen. It showed me and Orion at the reunion party, standing close together in a dimly lit corner. His hand cupped my face, our foreheads nearly touching, lips just inches apart. From this angle, it absolutely looked like we were about to kiss—or had just finished kissing.
Heat rushed to my face as I remembered that moment. We had been so close. So intimate.
"Who sent you this?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.
"Does it matter?" Rhys's jaw was clenched tight, his eyes now glowing with that dangerous red tint. "Answer the question, Elara. Did you kiss him?"
