Then we won’t have to be in an LDR.” Alexander stroked her head. “Don’t think too much about it. Just let things play out naturally! And besides, even if we’re

He sighed again helplessly, and then he closed his eyes and emptied his mind. Only then did his heart gradually return to some semblance of calmness.
