Soon enough, we stepped out of the restaurant, the warm scent of food still lingering on our clothes. The sky had darkened just a little, dyed in soft hues of orange and purple. I instinctively checked my watch—part of me hoping this strange outing would end so I could retreat back to the comfort of my dorm.
But of course, I knew better. That wasn't happening. Not with her.
So, I didn't say anything. I just stood there and waited, hands tucked in my pockets, silently watching Leona as she turned toward me with a glimmer in her eyes.
"Then… shall we go watch a movie now?"
"…Huh?"
Yep. I knew it. This weird, not-quite-a-date situation wasn't over yet.
Leona smiled, her eyes crinkling playfully. "What? Don't tell me you're already tired, Rin."
I opened my mouth but didn't bother trying to come up with an excuse. There was no point. She would just talk me into it anyway.
