Chapter 35: Bus Trip

Thaddeus gently guided Naia up the bus, holding her hand like the gentleman that he was. 

Naia smiled as she entered, immediately looking around the new mode of transportation.

"Wait, your card." 

"Oh." 

Thaddeus chuckled and tapped the card and she followed with interest. He led her inside to one of the more comfortable seats with good views.

This whole time, they got more than a few stares and a few teenage girls were even discussing.

"Such a gentleman! So handsome!" One said, dreamy.

"He has a mask…"

"You can see the contour of his face is exquisite."

There were also those who focused on Naia. "I've never seen that hair color though. It's weird but it looks… natural."

"I wonder what salon she uses…" 

"The woman feels so… charming too. And sexy. Do you think she's a star?"

"Take a picture just in case."

The couple ignored these mumblings and settled down, with Naia by the large window.
