Chapter 42 - 7 |Past-Arina POV|

I did not dare return to my secluded spot by the lake after that incident. Instead, I observed from a bench near that spot, bringing my schoolwork and some other books with me, and stayed there whenever I was free. My aim was to determine if I could still use my secluded spot without others claiming it as well, I persuaded myself. I definitely was not trying to satisfy my curiosity as to find out who that handsome stranger was. From his words, he seemed to come here often as he was familiar with the birds residing there. But I had not seen him since the day I moved to Mirror Court.
