The moment Lilith turned, her entire being froze.
Those grey eyes gleaming at her in the dark, that thick head of dark hair… that face… despite the darkness, there was just no way Lilith could not recognize him. This boy… this person… it was just impossible for her to mistake someone else for him. Kyle… what… what was he doing here of all places? Why was he even here?!
At that instant, Lilith heard his voice in her mind. 'I will do everything I can to avoid you… so do everything you can not to cross paths with me ever again… please don't let me see you again…' She remembered how when he had said those words back then, her heart had shaken so hard that it hurt. Until today, she could still very clearly remember.
As those words echoed in her mind, Lilith felt her heart shiver a little and she averted her gaze and quickly looked down to the ground, feigning not to see the person sitting against the tree trunk at all.
