Ethan felt something soft touch his cheeks. It was over the moment it began, and Claire was already walking toward the door, with the intention of leaving the dumbstruck Ethan alone in the room.
"Wait, Claire," Ethan said as he used his ability to lock the door shut. "We need to talk."
Seeing that the door was shut tight, Claire sighed and turned her head back to look at the young man who was looking at her with a serious expression.
Ethan stood up from the chair and approached Claire. When they were only half a meter apart, the boy awkwardly reached out to hold her hand.
Claire didn't resist and merely lowered her head. She had a feeling that Ethan wanted to talk to her about their relationship. A part of her didn't want to hear his explanation, while the latter wanted to know. It was a complicated feeling and Chloe's twin, who had always been the one to take the initiative, found herself at a loss.
