Ch 188: Why does it eat so much?

"I should get going now. I need to reach home while there is still light in the sky. I don't want our dorm lady to worry about me."

Rika stood up and pushed herself away from the comfortable chair she was lounging on. 

Emily and Damian stood with her and opened the door so Rika could exit the apartment.

"You don't need to go with me back to the dorms. I can get it myself. That is why I want to leave so early in the first place. You both should enjoy your time with each other."

Rika did not want to say it out loud, but she felt a little guilty about this pair's help.

They might have confessed to Rika, but she had also seen them be together for years. She wanted them to spend a little more time with each other so that her presence did not affect their relationship.

"I want to spend time with you. Don't you want to spend time with me as well? Whatever thoughts you are packing in that brain of yours, you don't need to worry about it anymore."
