Will you be my partner?

"You have been very quiet since earlier," Sebastian commented, not looking at her, and Elliana hummed.

Rather than answering him, she placed her hand on his wrist grabbing it like a little kid grabbing their guardian's hand.

Sebastian looked down at her hand before looking her way, his heart swelling for the girl who looked so lost. She was deep in thought.

Was it because of what he said to her?

Or was it because of what he didn't do?

Her behavior today was quite confusing and complicated than usual how she behaves. First, she hugged him like she hadn't seen him for a long time, then she told him she was making those vampire-killing poisons and now she was so quiet.

She indeed indicated something happened to the University.

What could it be? Was it the boys who said something to her? Or did her friends tease her again about her liking him?
