For a long time, the two of them just stood in the same spot, with Zoren hugging her from behind. He kept his head rested on her shoulder while Penny kept her gaze down. The tears in her eyes eventually dried up, replaced by softness and a small smile on her face.
"How did you know?" Her quiet voice broke the peaceful silence. "You didn't know until now, so… how?"
His mouth curled up. "How did you know I didn't know until now?"
Her brows rose while he chuckled. Lifting his head, he rested his chin on her shoulder.
"It's not that I didn't have a hunch… or hunch is the right word for it," he clarified calmly. "I just… I just can't stop comparing you to the Penny I know."
His smile widened. "When you told me we're married, the first thing that came to my mind was… you sound like Penny."
"Huh?"
"Penny is also direct and wouldn't beat around the bush. You also have the same eye color. And when I thought of it, you also smelled like toast."
