"When will we meet again?" he questioned her.
Thinking that she would think he was being too forward, he added in a gentle voice, "It's not that I'm worried about the books you borrowed. I have plenty of copies left. I was wondering since you seldom go out. Come to me when you go out. I'm worried about you."
The warmth of his body shifted to her body. Her cool body gradually became warm. Even her face felt hot. His magnetic voice sent shivers in her heart. Just like when he pulled her closer and her heartbeat increased, she was feeling the same way right now.
However, thinking of the training, she didn't know how long she would be training in that secluded place. The prospect of not being able to go out for an indefinite period cooled down her heart.
Veronica gave him a forced smile and answered his question, "After I finish reading these books, I will come to give them back. You have to prepare something delicious again."
"I promise," he swore. His hand let her arm go.
