Yarin's POV:
To be honest, I was a little nervous. It wasn't my first time alone with Lily, but it had never made me so cautious.
I didn't know what to say to her, so I could only focus on Heller. God, I was clearly able to talk and laugh with Lily before. Why did I suddenly not know how to use my mouth before her?
I didn't think it was because of a small no-show. Lily had made it clear that she didn't care. I couldn't find the source of the blockages in my heart. They were like little butterflies flying around in my little heart, making my heart beat like bones and unable to sit still.
Luckily, Lily didn't seem to notice my embarrassment. She seemed to be in a good mood and kept smiling. This was very rare. She was a cold girl. She was not cold, but a smile was not something her face was used to carrying.
I thought I brought the smile, and maybe Heller too, but he wasn't awake, so I decided he didn't count, which excited me a little.
