On the way to the village the next day, as usual, the two were busy chatting through the window. With Calista sitting in the carriage and Hayes riding the horse at a matching speed with the carriage.
"Sister, have you thought about it?" Hayes's anxious voice reached Calista's ears, who was busy munching on a fruit Faith had given her when she was leaving.
The corner of her lips curled as she looked in the direction of where Hayes was, though she couldn't see him because of the carriage board.
"Are you that anxious? It's been a few days since you asked?" she responded in a teasing tone, and her statement made Hayes, who was riding the horse flush, the tip of his ears reddening.
"You …. Come on. Don't keep me waiting!" finding the courage from somewhere, he retorted, knowing that she was at it again.
Calista's love for teasing others was so high, he had suffered a loss at her hands for days now, but he loved it.
