Time seemed to flow slowly for Basil and Iliana. However, in reality, time flowed normally. The amount of emotion conveyed by Basil's eyes in that brief moment was enough to overwhelm Iliana.
However, just like seasons, it leaves as fast as it comes. Basil's gaze calmed down. The previous emotion he had showed in his eyes were gone as if it had never been there in the very first place.
Iliana who had been entranced by Basil's eyes instantly regained herself back. She recoiled in surprise in the next moment, as she realized she had been dazzled by a stranger. What made it even stranger was that she didn't feel any repulsion toward it.
It felt like she had been reunited with an old friend, which was very strange considering her age. She frowned her forehead lightly. The stranger was still looking at her, but the gaze was different than before. She was about to call the stranger, when he turned his head away from her.
Tick!
