Chapitre 332: Assignation in a Tree House, Part 1

"Are you going?" Liara asked. 

I nodded. 

"Want to come with me?" I asked. 

Honestly, it was enough that she showed me a conflicted look. I didn't mind that she shook her head afterward. 

"I feel like I'm about to make a breakthrough," she admitted. 

In my head, I recalled watching Liara dancing in the middle of a hurricane, and I thought, 'You've made a breakthrough already.'

I also knew that it was okay to be greedy, especially for Liara, who, before my arrival at the Academy, had been suffering from a funk that had forced her out of the novice rankings. Honestly, if I was her, and I'd finally found a way forward, I probably would have been greedier.

"Just don't overdo it," I said as I reached out for her hand. 

She didn't stop me from grabbing it. Instead, my betrothed offered me a whimsical smile. 

"Says the guy who passed out while achieving enlightenment," she countered.
