Chapter 277: Turn Into Reality
Dani was still in her own thoughts as they casually walked around the Ebodian streets she once called home. The way Abel was acting just felt foreign to her, and while she knew deep down what exactly was happening, she couldn’t help but still try and deny that Abel really wanted her.
Well, she certainly wouldn’t mind if that was the case, but surely it wasn’t, right?
"So, since we have some time all to ourselves, what do you have in mind?"
"W-What?"
Dani couldn’t help but stutter as she was suddenly pulled out of her thoughts by the very same person that she was agonizing about. She didn’t even notice that they were already in the middle of a marketplace, and the sound of street vendors peddling their wares almost made her feel homesick, which somehow still managed to worm its way into her already confused mess of a heart.
"This is your home, right?" Abel pointed out with a small smirk. "I’m the tourist here, so I’ll be looking at you for guidance."
"O-Oh, right," Dani responded as she quickly composed herself. "I suppose this is one of the many market places in Ebodia. There’s a lot to be done here, really."
"I see. I’ll be looking forward to seeing them should you want to," he smiled.
She blinked at his words. Just looking at his face just made her chest tighten again. This was ridiculous. She should just play things cool right now!
