Chapter 472: The magic failed!
"Ha..."
Rhodes exhaled, and the windowpane immediately fogged over.
With both index fingers, he began to trace a heart into the condensation. When he finished, the shape revealed a clear view inside, right where Mira was standing.
The window creaked open, and Mira poked her head out, raising an eyebrow at his little artwork. "Are you a child?"
"Maybe?" Rhodes smiled and reached up to touch her cheek with the same fingers, still warm from his breath.
Mira instinctively flinched. "Cold!" she scolded, swatting his hand away. "Stop playing around, dinner’s ready."
She slammed the window shut again, muttering under her breath as the cold air rushed in. She was still in pajamas, after all.
Rhodes wiped the rest of the fog off the glass, glanced at the damp spot on his palm, and chuckled to himself with a bit of regret.
He stepped inside only to be chased straight to the sink by Mira.
"Go wash your hands before you even think of touching food," she ordered, arms crossed.
"Yes, yes." He grumbled playfully and headed off to the washroom.
