As Emi drove home, the turbulent feelings in her heart continued building up. She could still see Yagi's cold face in her mind, questioning her. That image was replaced by the apologetic look and the words he said before she left.
She could not understand how things fell apart.
But maybe it was for the best.
She should have known things would not go right at the Yagi household after encountering that filthy man at the door.
In any case, she was not going back there. It was a good thing to be disappointed after this visit. She knew in her heart that she had already taken a liking to Yagi from the moment they met. And it was not a good thing for her.
She never believed in love at first sight. She still did not.
