"Phoenix, is there something wrong?"
Catherine Grace called out behind me. I flinched, surprised to know she was there. I didn't even notice her entering my room.
I blinked several times and pulled myself out of the trance I was currently into
before tearing my gaze from the window where I could see nothing but the stretch of dark horizon.
The sky looks lonely. There's no stars nor moon to make it lively. For some reason, when I was still staring at the window, specifically towards the inky sky, Ace unceremoniously popped inside my thoughts. Then my heart ominously started to beat like crazy—the way it would beat when I was running a race. I suddenly asked myself if he's okay.
I sighed. I found myself walking away from the window.
"I'm fine Cat. It's just I suddenly felt something weird….I don't know why…. Perhaps, I'm tired. It's been a long and exhausting day." I replied, and smiled to make it sound convincing.
