I nodded, knowing that Nerissa was being considerate. Besides, I was indeed a little tired.
There weren't many people in the café, making the environment extra cozy and welcoming. Nerissa sat me down at an empty table, and she went to order coffee for us.
Then. she returned to the table, looked at me, and she began to ask, "Arianna, can you tell me more about Hendrix and you? I'll be honest with you, I used to often go back to Ucrebury to see him in secret, but he never wanted to see me. He even went as far as to avoid me. Hendrix has always been this aloof... Until the last time, he came to Jarold City. You don't know how happy I was when he came to tell me that he's taking you here for a few days."
Nerissa seemed to be reminded of something painful as she looked visibly hurt.
