448 I Leave the Choice to You

How long had it been since they had a conversation like this?

That thought caught them both off guard.

They used to have moments like this—so natural, so warm. But the fire... the fire had burned away all those memories, leaving nothing but ashes in room 2307 of the Hilton Hotel.

Emily was the first to break the silence, trying to shift the conversation. "I wasn't trying to barge in or anything... it's just that I didn’t hear anything for a while, and I got worried something happened to you..."

“Emily.”

“Hm?”

Satan chuckled softly, “It’s nothing.”

Emily frowned, “Just say what you want to say.”

“Don’t get the wrong idea. I was just—”

Satan gently cut her off, “It doesn’t matter why. Whatever the reason, I’m happy.”

Emily let out a small, defeated laugh, shaking her head, “Whatever, I can never win an argument with you.”
