The city of Amaterasu quieted down as lights lit up in the houses. The streets grew emptier, and families joined together at the dining table.
On the top floor of Whispering Pages, a handsome purple-eyed man and a beautiful red-eyed young woman sat on the bed, their silence hanging in the air.
"I have a question." Ambrose opened his mouth, resting his chin on his hand. "You liked me back in Hightown, right?"
Bella's soft cheeks flushed pink, and she nodded. "I don't kiss just everyone, you know…"
"Mm…" Ambrose chuckled and shook his head. "Had to make sure. Last time I mistook someone's feelings, well, it didn't end well."
Bella looked at him with her beautiful red eyes, feeling his heavy feelings coming from his unfortunate past.
She then laid down, rested her head on his lap, and pinched his cheek.
"I want to ask a question as well." She smiled.
"Mm, I am listening." Ambrose lowered his gaze, looking into her bright eyes.
