47- Maintain your distance, Mr Grave

The rest of the party went monotonous except for those who stole glances from each other and avoided crossing ways.

After the party, Red and Erich were about to sleep but Erich asked, "Red... didn't you feel bad?"

"No, It was just a business party."

Red lied, sighed and turned off the lamp on her side.

"I should have understood that you were trying to move on and I did this..." Erich mumbled, lowering his head and turning to her.

"You just wanted to show him I am yours, don't you?" Red asked, climbing on the covers and turning to him. Erich nodded in embarrassment.

"It's fine. He should know that I am not his anymore." Red shrugged, plopping on her elbow.

Her words surprised Erich, "Really?"

"Yeah.."

"Red.. can I ask you something?" Erich asked hesitantly.

Red hummed, motioning him to continue, "Did you get hurt... after seeing him?"

"What did you think after seeing me as Iris Grave?" Red asked.
