As this idea started building up inside Vanessa's mind, she began to understand Lucifer's strange behavior. Her suspicions were further fueled when he gave an answer after a long pause.
"Because you're different, I guess," Lucifer said with a smile as their eyes met again.
'I knew it!'
Although it seemed like a simple reason, it had a lot of meaning behind it. After all, what kind of guy would want to act differently around someone unless they felt something toward that person?
'He has feelings for me...' Vanessa thought as her heart pounded hard against her chest. 'That's why he doesn't want to mess things up and wants to leave a good impression. He thinks I'm more special than all the other girls he's met before, so he's being cautious, trying not to do anything that might push me away.'
However, she found the whole thing rather surprising. After all, they just met today during the meeting at lunch. Where did this sudden attraction come from?
