Chapter 49: Anticipation of Gingerbread

After the woman left, we hurried to leave the room. In my defense, I just felt a little embarrassed for being caught in such a position, but it may have jeopardise Aries' reputation if any form of misunderstanding occurred. Hence, the two of us leaving like thieves in the night despite not doing anything suspicious.

We then walked along the narrow corridor back to the lobby as my shoulders bumped against Aries' arm, the part where we touched seemed to grow warmer despite us both wearing sweaters. There was honestly no need to walk side by side in such a narrow space, but Aries prefers me to walk beside him within his plain of sight. I remember the time the expression on his face when he mentioned it before. He looks like he is about to cry. I recall as I simply nodded and agreed to keep him calm.
