Kai, Effie, and Cassie settled in the living room and chatted while Sunny returned to the kitchen. The two areas were basically a single space, separated only by distance and a tall counter, so he could see them clearly. Watching his friends at ease and happy to be reunited with the blind girl turned his expression dark for a short moment, but Sunny quickly put on a carefree mask.
Rain was by his side and staring at them, too.
Her gaze lingered on Kai for a while, then on Cassie. Finally, she looked at Effie and studied her face with a complicated expression.
'Here it comes!'
A few moments later, her eyes widened. Sunny didn't think that it was possible for the teenage girl to become paler than she already was, but he was proven wrong. Looking like a ghost, Rain slowly turned to him and whispered:
"Effie… she is… she's…"
Sunny offered her a polite smile.
"Huh? What are you mumbling about?"
Then, he glanced into the living room and raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, do you want me to call her over? No problem. Hey, Ef…"
Rain waved her hands and pressed one against his mouth.
"No! Don't!"
Sunny stared at her with a silent question in his eyes.
The girl looked at him, then at her hand, then awkwardly stepped back.
"What I wanted to say was… Effie, is she…"
Sunny grimaced.
