Devin's footsteps echoed inside the vast library as he walked towards Angeal. He had not said a single word, making Angeal keep her head down.
'Oh, what is he doing at this time... this is making things awkward! I want to read in peace!'
Angeal saw Devin's feet in flip-flops the moment he stopped in front of her. He picked up the book from the floor then handed it over to her.
"Raise your head."
Angeal slowly raised her head and her eyes met his. Then there it was again.
The heavy, depressing atmosphere... like the room could turn into ice at any second.
Why is it always like this every time she is around him? Would it always be like this?
Devin walked to the opposite couch where Angeal was, then sat down.
"Continue reading," he said nonchalantly, as he picked up a book from a nearby shelf then started reading.
The human girl was dumbfounded. She did not know whether to continue reading, or to go elsewhere to read.
