Former Desk Neighbor (2)

After leaving the café, since I promised to go to their house and I wanted to send her back myself, we began our walk back to their street.

Along the way, Eimi wanted to take her grocery bag from me but I insisted on carrying it for her.

Eimi was happy that I did that but she appeared to be somewhat troubled because of it.

If I had to make a quick guess, the girl also wanted to do something for me but she couldn’t think of anything.

That’s why to ease her mind off of it, I inched closer to her and let her hold onto one of the ears of the grocery bag I was holding at my right.

With this, we’re now carrying her bag together.

“Hmm… I see. This is more efficient, isn’t it?” I smiled at her and it instantly produced lovely giggling from the girl.

By this simple solution I thought of, the troubled look she had earlier was instantly erased as she mouthed ‘Thank you’ towards me.
