[4 days before D-day]
Neuron told me he asked the palace to give him a day off. Just for today. I was glad about the news until he said, "So go ahead and go to your shop. I'll wait here for you until you come home."
Right…
I have a shop.
I wanted to tell him I'm going to take a day off too. However, I'm worried he might find it suspicious that I am not really that concerned about my shop.
"I'm going on duty for a half-day then take the rest of the day off."
He nodded. "Come home quickly."
"I will. I will."
So heavy-hearted, I dressed up as if I'm really going to my shop.
So what am I gonna do for half the day? Wander on the streets?
After Neuron kissed me goodbye, I left his apartment. As soon as the door closed, I sighed and leaned on the closed door.
