章節 958: Reunion [2]

"Uh…hi…?"

The pregnant silence was broken by an attempt at communication, but not a successful one.

Elena's eyes widened slightly as she watched Damien. It was impossible to see it normally, but in Elena's eyes, Damien's minute awkward fidgeting was clearly displayed.

A warm smile spread on her face.

Even after so many years, his romantic awkwardness was the same as ever, eh?

"It's been a while," she said lightly with a smile. "How have you been?"

Her words were simple, but carried a mysterious air that washed over Damien and calmed his anxious mind.

As he looked on at the woman in front of him, he barely recognized her. From her personality which had become so firm and calm to her appearance which had matured and bloomed into its full potential, Elena was truly a changed person.

"It's been a while" held far more weight than its simplicity let on.

"How have you been," just how was he supposed to answer that question?
