Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 64

Freya watched as Sylvia took over the milk carton.

With a touch of impatience, Freya made a toast gesture.

"Cheers."

Just as Freya was about to take a sip, Sylvia, seizing the moment Freya was off-guard, snatched the carton right out of her hands.

"This brand has many flavors, let me see which one I prefer. Oh! Freya, you got the same flavor as me?"

Freya's face was a mix of panic and forced cheerfulness as she closely watched Sylvia's hand, "It seems we have similar tastes, so I ended up buying the same one." With that, she grabbed the carton back from Sylvia's left hand and took a gulp, as if afraid Sylvia might opt for a switch.

Sylvia also raised her carton for a sip, "Thanks for the treat."

Watching Sylvia drink through the straw brought a genuinely happy smile to Freya's face.
