"So, you like it gently?" Christina asked with a smile, staring at me.
"When did you come back?" I asked, ignoring her question as I walked toward her.
"Just today," she replied, her hand reaching out to pinch my face. "I couldn't miss the festival with you, after all. It's been so long since we could stay together."
"I see," I replied, nodding in response. "Avril didn't come with you?"
Her hand stopped pinching my cheek as she looked at me.
"She didn't," Christina replied, shaking her head. "...I don't think she will come back now."
"So, she chose to run away, huh?" I replied with a light shrug.
"I'm not the right person to tell you," she replied cryptically, looking at me. "When you see her again, calmly listen to what she has to say."
"..."
Without replying, I just looked at her, and she didn't shy away from my gaze.
A few seconds passed as she changed the topic. "Anyway, how do I look?"
