Gratiana gritted her teeth as she walked behind Rey Skylar.
She had her head somewhat lowered, as it hung shamefully on her shoulders while she contemplated everything that just happened.
"Haa… haaa…"
Steamy breaths escaped her lips with every step she took, and every second or two, she would lift her gaze to look at the man who walked a couple of inches from her. She desperately wanted to close the gap and access what she was denied, but—
'No! What am I thinking? Why am I… what would the girls think?!'
Gratiana tried her best to hide the immense guilt that was bubbling up within her, but it was getting too much to bear. A few moments ago, when Rey told her about the return of the Young Ones, she was disappointed.
It was only for a split second, but she certainly thought:
'Why did they have to return now?!'
