Face to Face(2)
For a few seconds, Liz wondered whether she had heard wrong.
It was just…too sudden.
This possibility-of Luke being interested in her romantically, was something that she had put to the side and ignored even though it had occurred to her that it might be true.
Now, it seemed that she had no choice but to come face to face with the possibility.
She even tried to be in denial for a few seconds, by hoping that he was just joking around. However, even that didn't work.
It was only after this stage did she try to calm down and try to analyze her own feelings.
Meanwhile, Luke was closely observing Liz's expression. Her every emotion was captured by him, who understood her more than anyone else in the world.
At this moment, he saw hesitation. However, he didn't know what that hesitation was for.
Was Liz hesitating to say that she would outright reject Luke? Or did Liz actually have feelings for him too, but was hesitating because she didn't want to accept them?
