'Did I hear that right?'
No, he was quite certain about what he had just heard. Her words had been loud and clear, considering she was lying right beside him. It was just that… the way she phrased it left considerable room for misinterpretation.
After all, a confession was still a confession, right? What else was he supposed to think when a woman said something like that?
'Wait, why am I jumping to conclusions already? This is Calyra we're talking about. Someone who has the social skills of a rock.'
Even so, he couldn't deny his curiosity. Not that he seriously expected Calyra to suddenly confess her romantic feelings for him right here.
That would be far too presumptuous of him.
Still, he couldn't help wondering what she had wanted to tell him, considering how uncharacteristically hesitant she sounded.
"Sure… you can."
Having given her the go-ahead, Ruvian could feel his anticipation gradually mounting.
