Offer

"I have to admit and apologise. Dear, I didn't expect you to be able to offer such a solution. For underestimating you, I do honestly apologise."

After several moments of walking, I finally gathered myself to speak. Lowering my head to accompany the words of the apology I expressed my honest emotions.

"Ah, no, there is no need for you…"

Startled by my behaviour, Ayda twitched before starting to panic. Seeing her loitering around like that, in the cute clothes that she picked for herself, I felt a sting on my heart. Not from some unwelcomed sadness, but from pure happiness.

"Give credit when it's due. This kind of solution completely slipped out of my mind… Or rather, I don't think I would be capable of seeing it in the first place. While I never had any doubts regarding your capabilities… Heck, to think you would exceed my expectations so quickly!"
