章 99: Ask me tomorrow

"I didn't think you will like it that much."

Aries raised her head with a smile cemented on her face since this morning. She pressed her lips, trying to suppress her smile from stretching wider.

"I didn't think I will like it as well," she confessed, gazing down at her hand and caressing the back of it that had Abel's markings on it. "It's beautiful... very beautiful."

Her eyes softened upon recalling the sight of her entire body in front of the mirror. Earlier today, after they bathed together and before they arrived in this dining hall they were in, Abel let her stand in front of the mirror to look at her body. 

Staring at it brought this inexplicable feeling to her heart. He covered all the small and big scars across her body, hindering her from seeing the terrible scars which constantly reminded her of what she went through.

Although she was aware, the scars were still there, not being able to see them helped.
