CHAPTER LI: Lady's Grasp of Bonds

Miracle…

I don't know what's the cause but…

…my heart is beating so loudly.

Thumping so hard.

Faster by the second.

It's just a name but why is it that it feels so different?

It makes me nervous but I also feel excited.

How conflicting yet heartwarming this feeling is.

"Why…" I cleared my throat. "Why Miracle?"

He stared at my face for a while. His eyes wander upon every facial feature I have.

After a while, he smiled and stroked my cheek.

"It's your name. Mira from Miradia and Cle from Clementia."

"Oh, I thought it was something cheesy that lovers usually use nowadays that I apparently don't know about."

"Well, you're not really up to date about these things." He teased.

I glared at him and smacked his arm.

"Don't you dare think that I forgot about your rendezvous yesterday." I gave him a stern eye which made him look away.

"What rendezvous could you be talking about?" He asked innocently.
