“So, who do you have your eye on?”
Kel blinked, startled, and looked away from Alanna. “Nobody.”
“Come on, there must be someone.”
“I don’t need –“
Alanna snorted. “It’s not a matter of need, it’s a matter of want. You’re human. Humans want things. So who is he?”
“There’s no ‘he’.”
Alanna began to roll her eyes, but stopped and studied Kel as understanding hit her. “A woman?”
“It’s accepted in the Islands.”
The older woman nodded. “I’m not going to jump up and down or scream and shout, if that’s what you think. So, who is she?”
Kel shook her head. “I can’t tell you.”
“Why not? Do I know her?”
Kel nodded reluctantly, and Alanna’s eyes lit up.
“That doesn’t matter, tell me anyway!”
“I can’t.”
“Of course you can, don’t you trust me?”
“I do, I just can’t say. It doesn’t matter anyway, she’s already taken.”
“So?” Alanna gave a huff of frustration. “Tell me something little then, her hair colour, or her eyes.”
She was ashamed for it, but Kel took the opportunity to escape. “Black. She has black hair.” Too late, she saw the flashes of violet light around Alanna’s hand.
“Liar,” the Lioness said smugly.
“That’s cheating,” Kel blurted, her face flushing red.
Alanna’s eyebrow raised. “Said the liar.”
Kel sighed and stood up, turning for the door.
“No, don’t. I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be.” Kel looked at the ground and took a deep breath. “If you must know, she has red hair and violet eyes,” she whispered, and slipped through the door without looking back.
