Part 56

"O-okay, Grey. But, what's going on?"

Athena gripped Grey's hand tightly unconsciously to vent her fear. Grey whispered repeatedly to calm Athena down as the tremors intensified. Until finally the tremors passed and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, Madam, I'm sorry. This is an airplane turbulence. But, take it easy. Everything is fine," said the flight attendant politely and Grey nodded, after which the flight attendant excused herself.

Grey focused on Athena and gently rubbed her hand. "How was it? Everything is fine, right?" he asked gently.

Athena nodded. "Yes. I'm sorry. I was too scared."

"No problem. It's your first time. It's natural for you to be scared."

Athena smiled. However, Athena was startled after realizing something and looked at her hand and Grey who were holding on. Grey who saw Athena looking surprised, followed the direction of Athena's gaze. Grey was surprised and hurriedly let go-Grey also just realized it.
