章節 1014: Emotional End

"For real?!" Ciara's voice rose higher.

"Of course!"

The exchange, at best, felt strange to me, but I decided not to speak.

"That's just a sign that he likes you so much!"

"R-really?!"

'Well, that's a valid point. Aloe does seem like the most mature and knowledgeable in these things...'

'Maybe I could ask her about... nah, it's not worth it.'

I smiled briefly and shrugged.

"You know, I was a little jealous that you won the Magic Toss, Aloe. I thought you were just a conniving bitc—I mean, lady. But now, I can see that you're really sincere and nice."
