Deeper Understanding

As the car streaked through our peaceful city road, I broke the silence between us by raising a question.

"Hitomi, what about you? When will you bring me to your parents?"

Truthfully, I might actually meet her father tonight. He’s serving Otoha’s father, after all. He’s already aware of my relationship with Hitomi but just like her grandfather, he’s not approving of her involvement with me.

"Ruki-sama… They will react the same way as my grandfather. "

"Haa... I told you to stop adding honorifics with me."

"I apologize... It is simply more comfortable for me to speak to you that way."

Hitomi replied, her grip on the steering wheel tightening slightly.

I took a quick glance at her face and while it was hard to see because of the lack of light, her face reddened slightly.

Nonetheless, I picked up why she’s insisting on not dropping the honorifics.
