Raymond looked away from Alexa and towards the portrait. He shut his eyes briefly and turned around.
"Forget it." He said and started walking away.
Once he was gone, Alexa gave out a little sigh and began to leave but Romeo clutched onto her dress. She stopped and looked down at him.
"Um," he shyly looked away. "Why did you lie?"
"I'm the reason the curtain came off, aren't I?" She asked him. "If I didn't tease you, you wouldn't have touched it, right?"
"R-right."
"So in the end, I'm the one who took it off so let's leave it like that." She said and smiled.
Romeo gazed at her smile and then looked at the portrait. They were the same person, weren't they?
"Thank you." Romeo said and started running out of there. "But this isn't over."
Alexa watched him leave and then shook her head. Such a kid.
She once again glanced at the portrait and felt 'what a world we live in?'
