After Alex and Abbie had their talk they returned to the lobby. Abbie wanted to find the room assigned to her. Although Alex said that she could stay in his room, she firmly rejected his offer. If it was the young Alex, Abbie would not think twice about staying in the room with her. However, the adult Alex was making her heart flutter whenever he smiled at her.
Abbie didn't want to die because of a heart attack, so she decided to make a tactical retreat. She needed some time to organize her thoughts and ponder about the things that Alex told her. There were many freshmen loitering in the lobby.
Some of them had already deposited their luggage inside their rooms and were just hanging out with friends and acquaintances.
The moment the two appeared in the lobby, the freshmen's eyes locked on the handsome red-haired guy walking hand in hand with the chubby girl.
"Is that him?"
"Who else could it be? It's him alright."
