lloyd's pov
this is is a dream.
it's gotta be.
never in a million years did i think i would end up in my bedroom kissing harumi after she put my father in jail for me. my mind is rushing, still trying to catch up to my emotions. i've known for awhile that i've liked harumi, but i never expected for her to actually like me back.
a thought suddenly enters my brain.
what if harumi-
nope, not going there. that would be impossible. she was the one who just kissed me after all.
after the whole "cole interruption awkward thing", i suggested we go see what the others were up to.
harumi agrees and we get up to leave.
i gesture out the door and give a little bow.
"m'lady," i say to harumi who rolls her eyes, but is smiling.
"dork."
"you love it," i tease, joining her as we walk across the courtyard. or harumi helps me hobble across, but i'm already feeling much stronger than before, and i should be able to handle myself sooner than later.
abruptly, harumi stops and i almost trip but catch myself.
"what? what is it?" i ask.
harumi is silent for a moment and then says, "we should think this through."
"think through...?"
"the future," harumi states bluntly. that thought from before starts to creep back into my head. i push it back down. "i'm a criminal lloyd! with a life sentence over my head!" she looks so hurt and conflicted. "as much as i want to, i can't just hang out with you and your friends here. technically, i can't."
i'm silent. i'm just as hurt and conflicted as her.
but she's right. harumi may have grown as a person, but that won't get rid of things legally.
"you have a point," i say softly.
as much as i want this, we can't just keep harumi here. legally, anyway.
"so what's your plan?"
