Chapter 80 Home Visit?

Before the last glow of twilight faded from the horizon, Duncan saw the familiar facade of the antique shop.

The gas street lamps on both sides of the road were already lit, the slightly yellow light illuminating the sign above the door and the dusty walls. The windows on either side of the entrance shone brightly; clearly, Nina had already come home—she had turned on the lights on the first floor and was waiting for Duncan to return.

Strictly speaking, from Duncan's perspective, he had only just met Nina, but for some reason, when he saw the light on the first floor, he felt an inexplicable...guilt.

Was this guilt because he had been out and not returning home?

Duncan stepped forward, pushed open the door of the antique shop, and the bell hanging at the entrance chimed crisply. The next second, he heard a quick rush of footsteps coming from the direction of the stairs.

A girl in a simple long dress seemed to fly down from upstairs like a breeze.
