Chapter 88: Reward

"I don't think I can with you by my side," Elias replied as he gave her a soft look. "You push me forward."

"You push me forward too. I feel like I would've still been so stuck if I hadn't met you. I was really trapped in my ways," Alyssa sighed as she thought back to her past self. She was glad that she had grown from last semester.

She didn't want to be that sad person any longer. She enjoyed being so happy and adventurous now.

Elias kissed her on the head before leading her out of the library.

"We all get like that sometimes. The good thing is that we're there for each other," Elias pointed out.

Alyssa nodded as she listened to him. He had a point. Even if they went back to their old ways or got caught in a bad rut, at least they weren't in that situation alone.

The other person could always pull them out. That comforted her. He would be there for her if she slipped up.
