"You are looking..."
Grace's hand stilled on its way to pick up a tangerine from the fruit basket as she heard Rune's words. She turned her head and found him staring directly at her from where he stood merely inches away from her.
He suddenly inched his face closer, making her heart race as she started worrying that her face still gave away her energy depletion despite all the precautions she took this time.
Still, she tried her best to look normal and stared back at him, feigning ignorance. At first, he kept looking at her with a serious expression on his face, but then, a smile suddenly spread across his lips, leaving her confused and surprised.
"... beautiful. You are looking beautiful." He completed his sentence from before, making her realize that she was worrying for nothing.
