Chapitre 54: Her fears

She could tell that Elias was a bit sad over her being so distant, but she could tell that he wanted to be supportive of her too.

He never asked her to put aside her work for him or to cut into her studying time to spend time with him instead. Maybe his care was actually a lack of care, though.

Maybe he was fine with her continuously blowing him off because he didn't want to hang out with her that bad.

Maybe he liked the growing distance between them. That thought saddened her. Were they already breaking apart?

"Alyssa! Hey!"

Alyssa looked up from her daze as she walked through campus to her next class. She saw Zoe waving from down the sidewalk, prompting her to lift her hand as well.

"Hey," she said, trying to conjure up as much enthusiasm as she could. Her voice still fell flat, though. She just didn't have much spirit in her right now.
