It appeared she was the only one clinging to the past, to a dream she had crafted for herself. Regaining her poise, Harlee managed a calm smile.
"It's been a while."
Rhys stepped forward with a seemingly casual demeanor, his first glance checking on Anika for any injuries before his eyes met Harlee's.
His gaze at Harlee was as indifferent as if he were looking at a stranger, yet he maintained his characteristic poise.
