Clara raised an eyebrow. "That's it? 'Huh'? You're not gonna panic and start yelling about carrots or something?"
Raven looked at her, his expression serious. "I won't do that anymore. People are gonna start calling me a wuss or pussy. I gotta act like an experienced person now."
Clara smirked, then grew a bit more serious. "I'm not telling you this to convince you to include her. That's not my job. I just... thought you should know. She's not planning to confess. She's okay just being around you."
Raven looked down, his arms tightening slightly around Clara as he processed that.
Selena... the girl who had clawed her way back from the edge of madness by forming a contract with a demon, falling for him?
He didn't know how he felt about that yet.
By now, one thing he knew about Selena was that she wasn't the same girl he knew from the plot.
The girl he thought would be the best he could find in this novel turned into something else.
