"I'll take you girls home," Anton offered as soon as they got out of the establishment. "It's late, so it's better if I drive you home."

Elise blinked at Anton, rubbing her chin as she pondered. Being Fil's friend surely had a lot of upsides. Elise didn't know if she saved the world in her previous life to be so lucky. This was Anton! His army of fans could only dream of being dropped off by him, but he was offering them as if it were nothing.

"Anton, can you please take Elise home?" Fil smiled subtly. "I will go home alone."

"But, Fil, if you're going to go home alone, then I'll go alone too!" Elise frowned. "Or we can ride the bus together."

"Your way and mine are different from here." Fil chuckled. "It's okay if you don't want him to drop you off, but I want to have some time alone."
