"Actually, he's my husband…"
There was the proverbial silence following Suzuki Ara's announcement as everyone stared at her then at Homura Ryuu with their mouths agape.
"Well, at least not until tomorrow," Ara continued, and she felt Kou's hold on her hand tighten.
She looked up to him in time to see her own happiness reflected in his eyes. Another lump of emotion clogged her throat as unexplainable warmth filled her chest. The two of them shared an unfathomable, yet very special connection at that very moment.
"Oh my God Ara, that's great news!"
It was Rin who reacted first. She had her hands clasped together, her face dreamy and happy at the same time.
"Congratulations!" the others followed in their greetings, looking genuinely happy for the two.
"Kou, this is Rin, Miharu, Midori, and Sonoda, her boyfriend."
