Amon was going to tease Amelia more as he stared at her face.
Even though she was shy and stuttering, she made no attempt to resist his proper hold now or even retreat.
It was soothing for him, this small hanging out of theirs.
It made him laugh more than he had done so in these few weeks and he was sure it was the same for Amelia.
Unfortunately, the young duo couldn't laugh for more as a familiar voice came from the side, startling Amon.
As he turned, he saw Elizabeth standing there with a confused look.
Just a few inches behind her was Ren, who was staring at Amon with relief rather than the group behind him as well, who also stared at him with confusion.
'Ah.' Amon suddenly remembered that they were also here for the shopping.
He had given them the promise to come later to join them but had forgotten about it ever since he met Amelia after coming out.
