Chapter 59 - Precious Love

"I got attracted to you the first time we met," says Clarie, looking at the fountain they were sitting near. "And then I slowly started liking you as we interacted. You're beautiful inside and out Mae, and that's what drew me to you."

"Did you plan on telling me any time?"

"I've thought about it many times. You were with Robin when I met you, and then you broke up, so I didn't want to disturb you when you were not in a good place mentally. But I really liked how you were always cheerful and friendly to me whatever the situation you were in. It made me feel special."
