Rest Stop

Looking at her dumbstruck expression at what I said, another smile bloomed in me. It’s partly because I might get lost in it and kiss her without warning. Even if I already got a clear read of what I am to her, I opted not to rush things.

True, she might not stop me from doing so but that’s the same as throwing away what I just said earlier, to cultivate this relationship of ours slowly… Besides, she didn’t have a definite answer yet.

To not make her more dumbstruck than she already was, I deliberately changed the topic of our conversation, “Anyway, how is it? Are there mistakes in our piece?”

Hearing that, Ishida-senpai suspiciously eyed me. Most likely surprised that I pedaled back on the chance to tease her or deepen our bond.

After several fake coughs, Ishida-senpai straightened her expression and answered while picking up the piece that she put down.

“… I still have to review this at home… I’ll call you if we need to change something.”
