George Flack saw the smile on Aria Grant's face as she spoke, and there seemed to be no greater pleasure than her liking the present!
"But if you ever want to feel my aloofness again, just let me know! I'm someone who can change back in an instant!" George said confidently, his arm wrapping around Aria's waist.
Aloof? Aria felt uncomfortable at the thought. It was the kind of sudden shortness of breath. If George returned to his previous persona, she realized she couldn't go back. What if he suddenly found out that she was no longer the same Aria Grant?
Would George still like her if that happened? Aria later realized this worry stemmed not from George but from the changes in her life. The happiness and perfection of the past were gone, and the damage done during that time undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to her.
"Let's just stay like this!" Aria said cautiously.
George ruffled Aria's hair, loving her whether it was in the past or now.
