Oscar came in and aided Grandpa Leo out while he bade them goodbye.
'I might already be experiencing happiness?' Valerie wondered. 'I don't think so. If I was, I definitely would've noticed it. I...' she paused her thoughts, remembering that she didn't even know what happiness felt like.
So how was she to know if she had started experiencing it?
"Hm, you look so deep in thought." Max said, sitting next to her in the spot Grandpa Leo was sitting on. "What did you two talk about?"
Valerie raised her gaze and suddenly started staring at him, intently. She even drew close to him and he wondered if she was trying to initiate a kiss but then she asked,
"Maximus, what does happiness feel like?"
Max was caught completely off guard and he blinked, twice.
"Eh?"
"You lived in happiness all your life so I'm certain you understand it better than anyone." She concluded and asked once more, "What is happiness?"
