Chapter 420: He Felt the Opposite in Those Dreams
Calix was still panicky even after seeing Leslie laughing softly. Her orbs were still glazed with tears. He gently rubbed his thumb under her eyes, feeling the warmth of the crystal droplets.
"You cry yet, you also laugh?"
Calix’s helpless voice earned more chuckles from Leslie. She shrugged, showing she also didn’t understand herself.
"Hehe, sorry... I seem weird now, en?"
Calix smiled sheepishly, "My story is weirder."
Leslie and Calix huddled on the swing chair. No one said anything as they took this time to calm themselves. He traced lazy circles on her shoulder as he wrapped her in his arms.
The passing night breeze gently caressed their face and tousled their hair. Its coolness helped to alleviate the lingering tension. The subtle scent of floral sweetness lingered in the air.
’Oh, I forgot.’
Leslie shifted her eyes to the inside of Calix’s home office. She could see the coffee table from the bamboo swing chair she was sitting on now. The laminated papers of the face sketches entered her line of sight.
"Those portraits..." Leslie trailed off as her eyes returned to Calix’s face, "Did you get someone to draw them because of your dreams?"
Calix hadn’t told Leslie everything about how those face sketches came to reality but, she could roughly guess. Those dreams affected him enough that he might try looking for the couple in real life.
