Aria's POV
Julian tried to comfort me, but a wave of guilt still washed over me. Blame it all on Summer! If she hadn't planted that ridiculous idea in my head, I wouldn't have spent the entire afternoon wondering if Julian had a crush on me.
"What's wrong? Tell me about it. Maybe I can help," Julian said, his eyebrows raised as he scrutinized my face.
I took another sip of water, then looked up to meet his gaze. "It's nothing, I just need a little more time to adjust." After a brief pause, I added, "Julian, can I ask you something... personal?"
I usually don't pry into other people's private lives, but I needed to clear this up before I could focus on the afternoon shoot.
He asked, "What kind of question requires such a disclaimer?"
My cheeks burned. "It's about your love life."
