"Erm..no?"The seer replied confused.

As they sat on the small ferry, gliding across the tranquil water, Ling Yue mustered the courage to broach a topic she had kept hidden deep within her heart.

"Can... Can I trust you?" Ling Yue's hands trembled as she spoke, her head bowed, lips pressed tightly together.
