"Hm? Want to ride together?" Jacks flashed a wicked smile, making his already handsome face appear even more devilishly so.
Aurora was momentarily dazzled by his smile and froze.
"Heh." Watching her stare blankly at him, Jacks couldn't help but let out a low chuckle, his smile growing even more dazzling.
Hearing the man's low chuckle, Aurora snapped back to her senses and lowered her head in embarrassment. 'This is so mortifying. How could I just stare at him like a lovestruck fool? I could just die of shame.'
"W-Well, you go on and ride. I'll be leaving now," Aurora said quickly, suppressing the complex feelings stirring within her.
Before Jacks could answer, she hurriedly grabbed her horse's reins and turned to leave.
"Wait." Seeing her about to leave, Jacks reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"You—" Aurora's eyes widened slightly as she met Jacks's gaze in surprise.
