“Thank you for bringing me here. This cake tastes really good,” I said before smiling a little at Reiner in appreciation.
“I’m glad that you like it,” he replied.
“I really like it,” I said as I looked deeply into his blue eyes.
Thank you, Reiner.
Time slipped by as we sat there in silence. Some time, I would feel Reiner eyes on me as I continued to eat the cake. Once I had finished, I realized that we’ve had quite an extended lunch in terms of time.
“Natalia…” Reine called my name softly.
I looked up to find him staring directly at my face.
“Yes?” I replied, wondering what he was going to say.
“About yesterday, where did you go?” Reiner asked.

“Nowhere. I just wasn’t feeling so well,” I replied, trying to sound normal.
“Really?” he asked as his eyes watched me.
“Really. I feel all better now so there’s nothing for you to worry about,” I replied
