"Like it?... I love it~"

"T-Thank you~" Vesperine's cheeks flushed a delicate pink, her heart swelling with a mixture of happiness and shyness.

"Are you sure? You've already bought me so much..." Vesperine's voice trembled with uncertainty, though her eyes betrayed her true desire as they lingered on the exquisite ornament.
