Kairos didn't speak immediately, at a loss as to how he should start. It wasn't as though he had no idea, but rather he had too many. He began hesitating, unable to come to a decision.
Nicole looked at him curiously, wondering what he was going to say. She was honestly not very optimistic.
Although Kairos tolerated her presence, he also hardly talked to her of his own volition. Even if she wanted to convince herself that Kairos wasn't pushing her away, that probably wouldn't be possible.
And so, she was fully expecting to be rejected.

There was a part of her that called herself a fool. After all, a rejection would inevitably impact their relationship, even if realistically nothing should change. There would be an awkwardness that they would never be able to shake off even if they both tried their best to.
