Rama took a sip of his coffee. The warmth of the coffee blended with a newfound warmth in his heart.
For the first time, someone had called Rama their friend. He had never really thought about it before, and he hadn't even realized that he needed a friend until he heard Alysia say it.
Meanwhile, next to him, Alysia glanced at Rama from the corner of her eye. She could see a smile appear on his face. Although it was just a faint smile, Alysia could see it. He actually felt happy hearing her words just now.
'First, I need to make him feel comfortable and trust me,' Alysia thought.
Alysia took a sip of her own coffee with a satisfied feeling.
'Once we establish a better relationship, it will be easier to uncover information about him.'
Alysia thought that was the only way to make Rama trust her and reveal what he had. Continuously bombarding him with questions, Alysia knew, would only push Rama further away.
