Back to the old temporary home

"Sorry again for the confusion," said Emma with a hand on the back of her head, still a little embarrassed, approaching after changing. "I was actually waiting for Jayaa, and when I heard someone at the door, I assumed it was him."

Klaus gave her a gentle smile. "Don't worry, it happens."

Emma then sat down on the sofa, at which point Klaus accidentally admired the clothes she was wearing. It wasn't an elegant outfit or anything, but she still looked beautiful in shorts and a simple T-shirt that highlighted the natural beauty of her bust. Her red hair was now almost dry and was even a little wavier than usual, giving her a relaxed yet captivating air.

Naturally, Emma realized that Klaus was looking at her, so Klaus turned his face away when his eyes met hers, as blue as seawater. Both their faces turned red and for a minute no one said anything at all, just silence hung in the air, with both of them feeling nothing but unease.
