Side Story (Dimitri)(5)
"So, why don't you just tell him your feelings?" Philip asked. "I am sure that Dimitri will hear you out kindly."
"I know that he will hear me out. What I am afraid of is… getting rejected, I guess." Angel said with a solemn voice. "The captain was the one that saved me from the streets."
Angel told Philip how she and Dimitri first met.
"I was a pick pocketer when I was in my teens, trying to live by and buy medicine for my sick mother. My father just dies because of the same illness and I do not want my mother to follow him in the afterlife and leave me all alone." Angel explained. "Back then, other people were not so fond of Atlantian refugees and we were not given a chance to work for a living like other people do. And so, I resort to picking pockets and thievery on the streets, and that was where the captain caught me doing such unlawful things."
"I never thought you were a thief back then." Philip teased while chuckling.
