"Uhm… Le... Lenoir, what do you mean? I... I don't get it..." Sydney stuttered, nervous about the situation. It's only the two of them in the Music Room, and the sun had already set. She wanted to run away because of embarrassment, but with Lenoir holding her hands and looking at her seriously, she couldn't move an inch.
"I mean it. I like you, Sydney. I really do. Can you be my girlfriend?"
Sydney was thinking of an excuse. In Matt's case, she told him that they have only known each other for a few days, but it wouldn't work on Lenoir because they had already known each other for more than a year. Plus, they had always talked when in Music Club meetings even before.
Lenoir noticed Sydney's eyes darting away from his gaze. Feeling her nervousness, he let go of her hands and said, "I'll wait for your answer, you don't have to answer now," then he gave her a kind smile. "Shall we go home?"
