Diamond smiled at Zara, her white teeth flashing for a second as she nodded affirmatively. "Um. I know it. Is it surprising?" she asked, her lips curling into a teasing smirk, her expression making Zara blush.
Turning her head away shyly, Zara fidgeted with her fingers like a shy maiden as she uttered a response. "Um. I wasn't expecting it!"
It was completely unexpected. If Diamond had communicated with her using the universal language, she wouldn't have had any qualms about it, but her language? Now that was surprising.
She was feeling a bit complicated, and her heart didn't seem to want to settle. It was as if she had just fallen for someone. This wasn't true. After all, her heart only had one person, Amir.
And where was he, anyway?
As her thoughts were shifting to Amir, Diamond's voice sounded. "I am a lady of many talents. So, buckle your seatbelt, for you are in for a wild ride!" she remarked, forcing Zara to turn her head to Diamond before bursting into a chuckle.
