"More than you know, and more than I have shown you."
Penny held her breath, staring at Slater. Her brows slowly elevated in surprise. Meanwhile, Slater blinked ever so tenderly.
"Why would you ask such a question, though?" he asked with a slight pout. "Well, I guess I haven't proven that until now, huh?"
"Heh…" Penny let out a shallow laugh, not really sure what he was talking about.
Slater smacked his lips and smiled. "Don't worry. I'll shower you with more love—just don't touch my chocolates and cars."
I never did that. I wouldn't dare.
"Are you leaving now?" he asked, cocking his head to the side. "Wait. Let me walk you out."
"It's okay!" she panicked a little, flinching as she glanced at her parents. She heaved a sigh of relief when they didn't wake up.
"What's wrong with you?" Slater frowned. "I'm just offering to walk you out. No big deal."
