The Most Expensive Date (part 3)

Nico must've noticed the face I'm wearing at the moment. I was so deep in my painful thoughts, thinking of my world without Nico next to me. My face must've reflected what I had in mind, because Nico suddenly called me.

"Elizabeth."

Nico suddenly called me, and I turned my curious eyes to him. I found him looking at me very sternly, and I know that he is going to say something rather important.

"I will make it back as quickly as I can. But, in the meantime, you also have to do something for me."

"And that is…?"

Nico went silent for a bit, and I noticed the pause must be because it was extremely important.

But, apparently...

"You need to do your best."

... Huh?

Hearing him uttering nonsense, I suddenly break into laughter. Nico turned confused seeing me laugh, but I just can't help myself.

What the heck is this guy talking about?? Doing my best? On what, surviving on my own?

Wait… maybe that is what he meant…

"Ah… you know what? I'll do my best. Sure."
