''I'm sure she can read, right?'' Alex asked while hoping that Ariel would be like the female knight in the story, which hobby was to read stories about knights.
Leon nodded. Fortunately, it was precisely like Alex expected; he couldn't stop a smile from forming on his face. He felt like he was a cupidon.
''Then I've got the perfect solution for ya.''
Leon rolled his eyes at his friend acting like a love expert, but he couldn't stop his curiosity; therefore, he asked.
''Do explain.''
Alex rubbed his hands together after emptying his glass like a shady merchant trying to con an innocent customer.
''You see, you should invite her.''
''On a date?" Leon interrupted Alex and asked impatiently; he wanted to say that he had already done all that but without success, but when he saw how Alex was glaring at him, he stopped.
''Shut up, you greenhorn. You should let the expert talk without interrupting.''
