章 229: Girl Talk

[Elise’s POV]

I watch as Serenity’s cheeks turn a bright pink while embarrassment flashes in her eyes. Oh, I could almost guess what, or rather, who this involved, and since I was pretty bored having to play student day to day, I could really use some entertainment.

“Go on,” I announce, dropping down to the floor in front of her. “Tell Auntie Elise all about it.”

Ugh. It sounded so weird to say that, but since Serenity knew my secret, there wasn’t really any reason for me to continue playing Eleanor in front of her.

“What has the gentle giant done to you now?”

“It isn’t him.” Serenity says slowly, clearly trying to compose her thoughts. “It’s me.”

“Please don’t give me the whole it isn’t him; it is me thing. You didn’t see just how frazzled you looked when you ran into me. Clearly, he did something to cause that, right?”

“He...” she begins, but stops as her blush grows deeper. “I think he tried to kiss me.”
