Everly tucked the strands of Valero's hair behind his ear and sat down in front of him.
She grabbed his hand and placed it on her lap, then began to carefully clean his nails, making absolutely sure not to hurt his skin in the process.
"Everly." Valerio suddenly called her name after a few moments of silence.
"Hmm?" Everly answered, her eyes still fixed on what she was doing.
"I thought about what you said yesterday-" He took deep breaths "-You're right; that is not enough reason for me to not want to go." He began to talk, and Everly, who couldn't understand where he was going with his words, glanced at him.
"So... what are you trying to say?" She inquired.
"Well, I am trying to say that there is indeed a reason why I don't want to go." He explained in a soft voice.
"And do you want to tell me what the reason is?" Everly asked.
