Another voice in her mind told her to hide. Seeing as their relationship had gotten to this point, there was no need to stir up any additional trouble.
After some hesitation, Lissy Lock decided to hide and avoid letting John Fame see her.
So she quickly took a few steps back, keeping distance from the window.
What Lissy Lock didn't see was John Fame smiling as he watched her. The corners of his mouth quirked upwards, all because...
He had seen the hem of her pajamas.
It seemed that Lissy Lock had noticed there was something off about him and guessed he might look her way, so she hid in advance.
But... she hadn't concealed herself well, and he saw her.
John Fame had thought she was still sleeping, not awakened yet. He glanced at her room with fondness.
Unexpectedly, she was there.
It felt as if he had taken a tranquillizer, and he became inexplicably relaxed.
She was watching him, that was enough.
