Yet they still made Adelia's cheeks turn a delicate shade of pink.
She looked away. Ever since that day they had spent together in Lunaris City. That one single date, the feelings she experienced around Amon had gradually begun changing.

She had never acted that way with anyone before.
Not with a man nor with another woman.
Watching him look so dejected now. She suddenly had an urge to hug him.
After a brief silence, she quietly lowered her eyes.
