Behind the Facade

Aria could sense the vibe too, but she had no clue how to break the awkwardness between her and Alaric.

After they finished eating, Aria started to clear the table, but Alaric stopped her.

He took the dishes himself and started cleaning up.

Aria tried to help a few times, but he kept shooing her out of the kitchen.

Just then, Aria's phone rang.

She let it go.

She just turned and left the kitchen.
