Chapter 47: Feelings Unveiled
As Adam finished speaking, Ani finally accepted that perhaps he really could feel her presence, almost as if he could actually see her.
Puzzled yet intrigued, she scanned her surroundings again, trying to comprehend the strange sensation.
Adam's voice came through the call once more, teasing, "Still don't believe me?"
"No, it's not that," Ani replied softly, a faint curiosity lacing her words. "I just don't understand from where you're... seeing me?"
Adam chuckled lightly, replying, "Well, I can see you right in front of me, Ani."
Hearing this, Ani instinctively looked forward, holding the phone to her ear.
"Yes, exactly from there," Adam continued with a playful tone. His voice, casual yet laced with mystery, made Ani's cheeks flush a gentle pink.
She couldn't help but look away to the side, as if his presence was truly there, making her self-conscious. It was a strange feeling, and she laughed at herself for letting it affect her so much.
Trying to keep her composure, Ani's fingers twisted nervously. "Can you... stop looking at me now? It's making me self-conscious," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.
Adam, hearing the endearing shyness in her voice, couldn't help but grin. "Ah, but the vision has faded, Ani. It comes and goes, especially when I miss you... and it seems I missed you quite a lot."
The soft confession took Ani by surprise, a rare vulnerability in Adam's voice leaving her speechless. After a moment, she whispered, "So... you missed me?"
