Her eyes fell upon Matteo’s pink lips, and she wondered for a brief second how soft they would be.
Snapping out of it, she quickly turned her head away. A blush of red crept up the sides of her neck and onto the apples of her cheeks. Amelia felt as though her entire body was burning alive.
"I..." she stammered, unable to keep a coherent thought, "I... It doesn’t really concern me..."
Suddenly, the shadow that loomed over her disappeared. Amelia could feel the temperature in the room cool down significantly, and she quickly turned her head to see that Matteo had already pulled back. The look in his eyes was cold and distant, and the expression on his face was equally unreadable.
"Oh?" he mused, although he didn’t flinch even the slightest. There was even a hint of disappointment lacing his voice, though Amelia quickly shook her head and shot the idea down.

Amelia shifted where she stood. Then, it finally hit her.
