Meanwhile on the other side of the campus:
"It's weird without Mika", Grace got worried.
"It's alright. Knowing Noah, he doesn't do anything half-assed.", Nate said sipping his coffee.
"I hope you are right.", she answered as she was rubbing her finger on the brim of her teacup.
"tell you what? If they are not back in some time, we'll go find them. Sounds good?"
"Alright. Thank you.", Grace finally pulled up a smile.
They decided to sit in a café. There was no seat in the cafeteria campus. Grace likes these kinds of aesthetics. Cafes calm her mind. She can spend hours here, just doing her work or even just sitting and sipping her tea.
For Nate, it was the first time they both were alone like that. He didn't have words to describe his feelings. For some reason, it wasn't excitement, it was more of a happy feeling. There weren't any shock waves or rush going on inside him. Just looking at Grace's face was enough for him. He couldn't ask for more.
