The moment he said those three words, "I've seen it," Mia's world went dark.
'Seriously, man? Is that something a human being would say?'
'Seen it? That spot... How could he have seen it?'
Mia's cheeks flushed crimson, and her voice trembled when she spoke again. "When did this happen? I... I... How do I not know about this?"
"One time, you were swimming in the pool. Your swimsuit came undone, and I accidentally saw it."
Silence.
A difficult swallow.
After doing this a few times, Mia lowered her head and asked, her voice barely a whisper:
"Did you only see... the mole?"
This time, the other end of the line was silent.
'Okay, okay, she knew the answer.'
Taking a deep breath, Mia refused to dwell on it.
An image was already forming in her mind. She tried hard to banish it, attempting to change the subject to let her burning cheeks cool down.
Unexpectedly, Kian Keller gave her no such chance, answering with brutal honesty, "More than that."
"..."
