Chapter 72

Nova has spent last half an hour fiddling with the keyboard buttons, changing sites on satellite grapher and she would be lying if she told herself that all this wasn't annoying the gorgeous looking man sitting across her but, did she care? No.

She wanted him to talk, initiate the conversation or just tell her to stop doing senseless tickling. Janus was now resting his head on the edge of window, his hands clutched to one another holding one leg from the knee and just staring at nothingness on the floor of buggy.

Nova couldn't take it anymore, "Are you alright?" She asked shifting forwards to get within his eye range.

Janus straightened up and smiled faintly. Clearly he was trying too hard to look normal but somehow wasn't able to.

"I am fine." He said politely and didn't hold the eye contact for more than a few seconds.

Nova argued herself upon whether to nag further and won and lost the battle at same time.
