My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Hendrix stared straight at me, and I tried to explain to cover my embarrassment, "I was just curious. How about you help me ask him instead?"

"Did you?" Hendrix asked Josiah.

Josiah almost fell off his seat. He looked at us in disbelief, "Couples indeed act alike! You two, leave, now."

As I knew I wouldn't get anything out from Josiah, I stopped harassing him.

On the other hand, Hendrix held onto my arm and pulled me out of Josiah's office. It seemed like he went to Josiah's office wanting to meet me. I followed closely behind him, wondering how he might react to what happened just then.

Hendrix didn't say anything even when we got in the car. He seemed mad at me, but at the same time, he didn't look mad.

I couldn't figure him out, so I asked instead, "Have you eaten anything?" It was just in time for dinner.

He didn't reply to me. Following that was a long silence.

Fifteen minutes later, he pulled up at a restaurant's parking lot. He then got out of the car, and I trotted behind him.
