I felt how our heart tightened.
I knew it was because Anne was stunned by my words. After all, little by little I felt a shy joy spread its warmth strongly in my cheeks.
As if they were burning, my cheeks felt hotter than ever. I never thought she would react so cutely to my words and, so strongly, that our flushed cheeks stayed that way for a long time after.
I'm sure I've made it clear that I like her... But..... Have I not told her how much I do?...
I guess I haven't.
Well, it's never too late. I love my cute baby panda, so I've got to put my all into this drawing for her to be able to even feel it when she sees it!
Excited to show Marianne my honest feelings, I took the quill in my hand and dipped it into the ink, enough to not over soak it.
It was right at that moment that I realised I had forgotten to bring an important tool with me.
