SUMIRE
'I always thought Toh was smart, but just like Yuhi-san. He can be quite oblivious. No, he definitely wasn't like this before. He had more confidence in his feelings for me. Is it because we aren't together anymore?'
Taking a deep breath she stammered a reply. "I-I'm not talking about the kids. I want to go, just us two."
Toh blinked, surprised. "You want us to-"
"Forget it, let's forget it." Sumire stood up and turned away, only for Toh to turn her around.
"Were you asking me out?" Toh asked seriously.
The look on Toh's face was very hard to understand. He seems to have mixed emotions.
"N-not what you're thinking. I just want to make it up to you."
Toh nodded understanding. "I'll see what I can do with my schedule." He trailed off. "It might have to wait until we return from mount oe."
"Mm, but we will go right? We both need a break."
