It was peaceful and warm as he walked with her and that was all that mattered because even without her saying a word, he could feel that she had forgiven him and the way she avoided his gaze when he glances at her with a slight blush, assured him that he was not overthinking when he felt she liked him.
It might not be love as Alessia said but it was a stronger version of like which was not new to him at all as he had seen girls have such feelings for him in the past but this felt even purer. Maybe the last time he saw something that pure was when he was in elementary school.
