Chapter 4: Welcome to Enki
"I love you."
Luna doubted her own ears the first time she heard those words. But with every passing second, as the uncomfortable silence stretched on, it became clearer that she hadn't misheard anything.
And her heart started to race, as she found herself forced to think about something she had tried to ignore.
The girl had never expected him to look at her that way. After all, she was so plain and awkward.
The negative experiences from other encounters weighed heavy on her heart. She wasn't ugly; in fact, most people would describe her as pretty, so this wasn't the first time someone had asked her out.
However, every other time, people had distanced themselves from her. They probably grew tired of dealing with such a strange girl.
"I love you," he said again, and the girl's pale face turned as red as a tomato.
She knew Davi was different. They had known each other for over a year, and he never seemed to get tired of her. And now he was saying he loved her.
The truth was, entering a relationship seemed frightening. But she couldn't deny the smile that formed on her face, just thinking about having him by her side.
The only purpose of rationality is to find the best way to follow your heart. Mentally, the girl repeated the phrase her mother once told her. And her decision was made. After all, from the beginning, her heart had only desired one thing in this case.
All the problems and challenges that would come after this could be dealt with by reason. She would probably find a way to handle her own insecurities, especially with Davi by her side.
