"Do you want to know what it all meant?" he asked, leaning his head over his shoulder as he smiled at the girl.
"Wait, do you actually know?" Leila finally turned her eyes away from the fence and looked at Mathew. Her eyes were wide open as a hint of deep respect appeared at the bottom of her pupils.
"That wasn't the question," Mathew said, shaking his head. "Do you want to know?" he then asked again.
