The Failed Proposal

"I'm sorry, Nox." Shelly looked at him, feeling guilty.

She thought that she would not feel burdened by anything Nox did. However, when she saw Nox so calm at that moment, she was a little sad. For some reason, she felt that she had hurt him badly. 

"It's alright." Nox stood up from the ground.

He even had a smile on his face as he said, "In regards to feelings, there's nothing to be sorry about. It's either you love the person or not."

Shelly felt a lump in her throat. She thought Nox looked lonely at this moment, and it made her heart ache. However, she did not go back on her word. She figured she only felt touched and upset at that moment because Nox had created a sad scene for her. Once she walked out of there, those feelings would fade.

She stood up from her chair and said, "Please send me back to the shore."

"Alright." Nox nodded.
