Chapter 219: Wake up, you big fat flying lizard!

I opened up the door and Lianne was outside. She was dressed in a nightgown. Her face wasn't covered. She actually looked pretty good.

She came inside. I didn't lock the door. I had no intention of brewing a misunderstanding. 

"So…?"                           

She went to the terrace. I followed.

"I'm sorry."

I actually hadn't expected that. I knew she'd apologize eventually. But this was just too sudden. Or maybe I was still a bit flustered about the whole Susan fiasco.

"I know you can't trust me anymore but-"Her eyes shimmered. "I really am sorry. It's just… I didn't have another option. I just-"

"It's okay. It's not like brooding over it would change anything." It wasn't like I'd forgotten about it but I had to put up an act. Holding things back would have just made both me and her sad in the long run. "It's okay."

And more importantly, I'd be out of here soon anyway.
