An Offer

After two turns of the dance moves, Ezekiel realized something about Harriet. He had rarely seen her again nowadays, and even if he did, he would not come this close to her.

Now that he had the chance to even touch her hands and see her closer, he realized how thin she was.

He thought she looked thin and fragile because of the black dress. But he was wrong.

She truly felt thin and weak.

"I heard that Zaha had just finished the war," Ezekiel said softly.

"Not completely," Harriet smiled at him. Her eyes looked into his behind the black veil. Her eyebrows arch was high and beautiful, making him remember the time when he used to admire her.

"Then I bet I will be able to see him again soon," Ezekiel smiled back.

Harriet chuckled, leaning her head into Ezekiel's shoulder. "You can just see him whenever you want. Or just go see the world with Heinrich in your spare time."
