I wasn't sure what Phoenix was up to.
My naive self thought he would leave after dinner.
So I cooked obediently and invited him to eat.
After he sat down on the round dining table, he patted the chair next to him and instructed, "Sit here."
"..."
I hesitated for a moment before taking my seat.
I thought he would leave if I satisfied him.
I sat beside him, watching him have his meal.
He finished one bowl of rice.
Soon, another bowl of rice was finished.
When he asked me to serve him a third bowl of rice, I asked, "Do you eat so much for dinner?"
Phoenix did not answer.
I didn't ask more and merely refilled the bowl.
When dinner was over, he said he wanted to borrow my tablet. I didn't dare to refuse. After lending it to him, I went to my bedroom to text Paige.
I told her everything about Phoenix's unusual behaviour today.
Paige merely replied, saying Phoenix had feelings for me.
"Impossible," I responded.
