I don't want to cry in front of him!
Acheron whitened at seeing Pippi cry."Pippi—-"
She let out the tiniest sound of pain, but it was more than enough to have her whole family rushing to her aid.
"Pippi?"
"What's wrong?"
"Pi?"
They careened into her all at once, and Pippi found herself falling as she inadvertently lost her balance.
"Gotcha." She had fallen into the safety of his arms, and as Acheron slowly pulled her upright, she had a sinking feeling that this man had caught her...for good.

"IF YOU NEED ANYTHING," Astrid said, "we're just downstairs." Pippi's mother pulled the door closed after giving her eldest daughter's guest a friendly smile. Outside, she found herself the subject of several expectant looks, and it was obvious they were all wondering the same thing.
What was a cosplaying Greek billionaire doing on their doorstep?
Astrid flashed them an okay sign.There's nothing to worry about.A smug smile formed over her lips.Because I'm absolutely certain your big sister has the man smitten!
Everyone celebrated...silently,with her daughters exchanging high-fives while Astrid's aunts started smiling smugly.Pippi had obviously inherited their good taste in men, and thank God for that!
Inside the room, Acheron and Pippi were gazing at each other, both of them waiting for the sound of footsteps, but all they heard was silence.
When he raised a brow at her, she could practically hear him asking, 'Do they truly believe we don't know they have their ears to the door?'
She lifted her shoulders in a shrug.I guess.Excitement was probably why her family was acting unusually dense.
A smile curved over his lips.I don't mind, though.
Pippi lifted her chin.Who says I care about what you - oh my God.It finally dawned on her that both of them were communicating silently like some stupid, lovesick couple, and dismay turned to mortification when she saw the gleam of amusement in his eyes.
"It doesn't mean anything," she muttered. "You're just...you're just easy to read."
