"Okay," she replied, leaning into her hope.
"I think I'm being followed."
Her heart sank slightly—how could he turn this moment into something so unromantic? Or better yet, how could she have believed that now, of all times, he would confess? Her initial fantasies of romance were practically shattered at that moment.
"Who's following you?" she asked, trying to mask her disbelief.
"I think a few Road Riders," he replied, glancing around carefully and scanning the crowd. "Ever since the news broke about me being the leader of Team Agartha, I feel like someone's been tailing me."
Kimberly frowned, unable to take him seriously. The longing for a confession had consumed her thoughts, and now Road Riders felt like a force against her expectations.
"Are you sure you're not just imagining it?" she lightly teased, trying to ease the tension in her heart.
