Aaron used coal and log at the fireplace to warm the hut and heard her ask, "When did you see me the first time?"
Aaron didn't lie, "Nearly eleven years ago at our school." He purposefully didn't mention the cafe to avoid her stressing her mind and lose control unexpectedly.
Aarvi: "..."
She was remarkably speechless. She had thought he might have seen her pictures with Shawn hence she had thought it might be around five years.
Aaron who closed the hatch of the fireplace turned to see her blankly looking at him. Even though he always sees her serene or aloof, it was just a facade to hide her real emotions but not the blank gaze which made him realize she was wordless to voice.
He tapped on her nose with his finger, "So you better treat me good."
Aarvi's lips twitched hearing it, "Were you a coward? I didn't expect you to be milksop."
