章節 86: Special Event

Jack and Slivia exchanged glances, trying to read each other's moods. Slivia soon broke the silence, saying, "Well, I'm glad you're doing okay, Jack."

"Thanks, me too. I'm sorry for worrying you so much," apologized Jack. "I didn't mean to, I just… I didn't want him to take you. I couldn't let that happen."

Some red filled Slivia's cheeks when she heard that. "You know, I was never able to thank you for everything."

"That's fine. Don't worry about—"

Interrupting Jack's apology, Slivia leaned in close and lightly kissed his cheek. Before Jack could bring himself to say anything, she quickly stood up. "It's early and I should probably get some more rest. Thank you, Jack."

And just like that, Slivia darted out of the room without looking back.

Jack was left in the room, his mouth gaping in shock. Unsure of what to think, Jack looked back to Bowzer. Sadly, Jack found the fox sleeping comfortably and totally oblivious to what had just occurred.
