'Friends'

"I was surprised to hear that you didn't help Alfons when he was out in the sun protesting for other people's rights," Felice said. "I actually thought that you would sit next to him and use your grandfather's name to help him."

Gabi's eye twitched when she heard her words. "Do I really look like that to you?"

"No offense, but the rumors said you would never want your cousin to suffer."

Gabi chuckled. "Did the rumors said that I love my cousin, too?" Seeing Felice turned silent, Gabi couldn't help but laugh this time. Of course, she already heard those rumors in her previous life. "And… do you believe them?" She slowly finished the macaron while observing Felice's reaction.
