Despite her stern tone, Hobe couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart. Having someone like Alina by his side was both comforting and exhilarating, always keeping him on his toes with her enigmatic words.
Alina casually swung the door open to her room, her response carrying an air of nonchalance. Or at least, an attempt at nonchalance. "I'm nice to everyone. Don't overthink it. Come in."
Hobe obediently stepped inside, not taking Alina's words too seriously. However, despite Alina's denial, he couldn't shake the feeling that her attitude toward him was somewhat different compared to others.
Upon entering Alina's living space, Hobe found himself marveling at the sleek, modern design of the interior.
The furniture exuded a minimalist elegance, with shades of black and gray dominating the color palette. Soft, dimmed lighting added a cozy ambiance to the otherwise monochromatic scheme.
