Chapter 104: This is too Embarassing!

"Is this true?" Richard asked, his voice laced with concern as he sought clarification from Lisa.

"I'm not entirely sure, but during one of our recent conversations in her free time, Sara opened up about her feelings," Lisa explained, her tone earnest. "She mentioned how she's noticed a distance growing between you two, and she seemed genuinely saddened by it."

Richard fell into deep contemplation, his hand unconsciously stroking his chin. Lisa's words resonated with him, shedding light on a truth he had been avoiding. The demanding nature of their roles within Blackwatch had indeed created a chasm, a silent gap filled with unspoken words and missed opportunities. The past weeks had been busy, leaving little room for personal interactions.

"It's just that…" Richard's voice trailed off as he grappled with his thoughts, trying to put his feelings into words.
