Chapter 52: He hoped she left and she hope she can

Night fell and yet the people around the heart of the capital didn't decrease. If anything, the night became even livelier. But the festive atmosphere in the air didn't faze Abel. 

Abel stood in the corner, leaning against an establishment with his arms crossed. He had been there for hours now, eyes on the particular bench where Aries was sitting down. 

'Why don't you leave?' he wondered internally.

He had witnessed her panic when she realized he left her. He had also seen her walk away as if she had already realized the opportunity he opened for her. But to his surprise, Aries returned and sat down on the bench.

She stayed there, near where he left for hours now. She didn't move a muscle even when the night fell and the wave of people changed.
