Capítulo 91: The Talk

Kai and I just sat there, watching the sun sink further into the horizon. The atmosphere was awkward and the silence was deafening, and I couldn’t help but be anxious. It had been about five minutes since he arrived and told me he wanted to talk to me, but neither of us uttered a single word since then.

I was still a little confused at the realization that dawned into me a while ago, and since he arrived abruptly, I had no idea how to proceed with it.

-Maybe I should initiate it? I mean, I was the one who walked away.

I took a deep breath and steeled myself.

-You can do this Nyxtriel. Just threat it like a battle strategy. Go for the shot!

The self-talk didn’t really help.

“”Hey, I-“” we uttered at the same time but I stopped immediately once I noticed it, but he did so as well.

“Uhm… you first.” I offered.

“No, you first. I mean, ladies first.”
