Bab 110: The Doll's Request

Evan smiled soothingly as he nodded.

"I… I can finally go out?" She asked breathlessly, like the news was enough to knock the air out of her.

Evan nodded again.

"But of course, you still can't go out of the apartment unchaperoned by me," he added as a disclaimer. His voice grew harder and harsher as he spat out his next set of words. "We don't want the Berlin field trip incident to happen again."

"Figures…" she muttered under her breath, but the joy in her eyes remained. "Still, I'll make do with what I can get."

"What incident?" Freiheit asked, raising an eyebrow.
