Edmund walked inside the living room, meeting his sister on the couch and smiled walking over and sitting down beside her.
"So. Rooney"
Eve turned to him and narrowed her eyes.
"Rooney", she repeated and Edmund raised an eyebrows while smirking, and Eve rolled her eyes groaning.
"Ed, don't"
"I didn't say anything", he said smiling and Eve rolled her eyes again.
"You didn't have to", she said standing from the couch and Edmund followed her.
"Come on sis, you like her! I can see it miles away!", he said and Eve turned to him.
"Edmund stop. She's my student"
"What if she wasn't?", he asked and Eve shook her head.
"It doesn't matter. She's my student and nothing will ever happen"
"But what if she wasn't? Eve. I know you. I remember the look you had in your eyes when you were with Annalise. You were so in love"
"So?", she said crossing her arms, and Edmund sighed.
"I see that look now sis. You get that look when you look at her"
Eve sighed and looked down.
"I've known Rooney since she was a baby. I watched her grow up. Her mothers are two of my best friends. Me and Rooney will not work out. It will never happen", she said before walking out of the room, towards Rooney's room. The door was squeezed open and Eve could see right into the room and watch as Rooney looked herself in the mirror. Eve's mouth fell open when she saw Rooney's clothes. Black skirt with a black top.
Stop it Rothlo!
She cleared her throat and knocked on the door making Rooney turn to the woman and smile.
"Eve. I'm almost done", she said and Eve smiled and nodded.
"Good. I like your skirt", she said and Rooney smiled and looked down at her skirt with a blush.
"Thanks. My mom picked it for me", she said and Eve smiled.
"Of course she did"
"Wow, girl you look on point!", Edmund said as he came into view standing behind Eve and said sister rolled her eyes at her brother.
"Thanks", Rooney said and Edmund smiled.
"Alright, we have to go", Eve said and walked out of the room, leaving Edmund and Rooney alone.
"Is she okay?", Rooney asked and Edmund turned to her and smiled nodding.
"She's fine. Don't worry"
Rooney saw behind the lie, but let it slide once again. She didn't want to invade their privacy. A couple of minutes later Eve and Rooney were on their way to Annalise's house. Eve could practically feel Rooney's body shaking.
"Relax. It's gonna be fine", she assured the girl and Rooney turned to her and forced a smile, when she really wanted to throw up. She felt a hand in her own and looked up at the woman a huge blush on her face.
"It's gonna be fine Rooney. Trust me"
Rooney nodded and felt a squeeze in her hand before the hand was gone completely. They drove for another few minutes, before Eve stopped in front of a big light blue house.
"Wow", Rooney couldn't help but say and Eve chuckled.
"Yeah, most people say that when they see her house. Or anything about Annalise really"
