"Are you sure you came to find me for this?" Canillas asked for clarification.
He really hoped that Joanna might only be teasing him, and he would be fine with that, as he would regard that as an amusing dynamic in their growing relationship in this lifetime—a dynamic that he failed to grow in their previous life.
However, seeing Joanna calmly nod her head in a serene expression that remained the same no matter how many times he blinked his eyes, it was then that realization melted his frozen mind. He was not blind to not be able to see a clear sign that Joanna was not teasing him.
An amusing dynamic in their relationship had not yet come.
Amidst where they were at the moment, Canillas was not sure how he should react.
He was in immense joy, feeling relieved to find the route of their journey in this present time seemed to be different from the past. It implied that their life could be different this time. Everything that happened in the past was gone.
