Walking Back Home

-----

As we made our way back home, Elizabeth couldn't stop talking about what happened. She seemed quite proud of me for some reason, even though there was nothing to be proud of. Maybe she didn't think I was that thoughtful?

"I am honestly impressed you went to such lengths for the children of the village." She said. "I guess although you have a cold and hard shell, you're a very good person deep down, Blake."

"Huh?" I felt a bit confused. "Elizabeth, I feel slightly offended with those words… I have a hard time expressing my feelings, but it's not like I want it to be that way."

"A-Ah, I'm sorry! I-I didn't mean to say it like that…" Elizabeth quickly apologized. "I-I didn't think you would mind it… I'm sorry." She hugged my arm and looked at me with her beautiful eyes, looking like an adorable puppy.
