Chapter 35: Guess

Lawrence's grin became wider when Emma asked him to make the guess. 

Her meaning was clear as day, and Lawrence gladly took a few steps back away from her. 

There was naturally a limit on his approach, and he knew not to touch upon or cross that limit.

Only a foolish person would cross the limit and go above and beyond that. 

"So we have Ava and Ada. Ara is incorrect, leaving me with a few possibilities." Lawrence mumbled. 

Suddenly, he paused, turned to Emma, and asked nervously. "It can't be that her name is something else, right? You know– like those tricks that you have North, East, West, and the final one should be South, but it's actually something else." 

Emma chuckled and responded, "If that was the case, then you should just admit defeat. And since losing means you are having a date with me, then I can always choose when the date will happen. It could be now or suspended indefinitely."
