After that day, a heavy burden seemed to have lifted from my heart.
Weirdly, Sebastian did not start ignoring me (although I suspected it might have something to do with his plan).
He started to bring me books. Not encyclopedia this time, but romance novels. Books I usually read.
"Thank you." I took over the book. Even though I knew it's just make-pretend, for some reason I felt happy. Happy that he brought me something every time he came here. Happy that he finally spent an ounce of his clever brain to notice what I truly liked.
"I hope you like this type of books." A flicker of amusement passed through his eyes again.
Teasing? Was he teasing?
Maybe because of my confused look, for once in my entire two lives, he explained.
"Whenever I entered the room, you were reading an encyclopedia."
"What? That is not true. Why would I read an encyclopedia?"
"The book with a blue cover and a tear at the right upper corner."
