Fortunately, Rose understood that some things were hard to say.
She didn't force him to speak. Perhaps she thought it was inappropriate to speak here with Arthur by his side.
"Let's go," she said, opening the car door.
Aldric quickly got into the car.
He had no other desire than to return to his dormitory.
Vrom!
Rose quickly drove the car away, leaving Arthur alone.
In the car, Aldric checked his cell phone.
Opening the messaging app, he saw a message from the princess.
The message contained one letter, 'p'.
Aldric rolled his eyes at the letter, then saved the number.
Rose occasionally glanced at his phone, but he tilted it slightly so she couldn't see anything.
From her eyes, she was clearly still curious, but somewhat unsure how to ask.
DING!
Suddenly a message arrived on Aldric's phone just as he closed the message, from the princess.
(I'm ready!)
