"...That's the first time we met. Isn't it?"
Nao's words were a breath of fresh air for her.
He stared off into the horizon,
where the bands of flowers are moving like waves in the ocean.
He looked at her with his captivating eyes.
There was a hidden emotion in his face.
Whatever it was, she couldn't guess.
Until now, he never spoke a word.
He only listened intently to the words she said.
There was that calmness again that she saw only in him,
one that even her own reflection doesn't show her.
She wanted everything to stay just like this,
even for only a bit of time.
What happens if he leaves me alone?
There was that thought again.
She took a glance at him.
He noticed her look and showed her a bright smile.
And when she saw Nao,
her heart answered for her.
Don't worry.
She smiled back at him.
