Chapter 87
As Eiden and Lyra walked alongside each other, the steady rhythm of their footsteps matched almost perfectly. The afternoon sun stretched long shadows across the pavement, and a soft breeze occasionally brushed past, ruffling their hair. For a while, they simply enjoyed each other's company, letting the quiet speak for itself. Eiden glanced sideways at her, and his brow lifted slightly when he noticed her expression. She looked flustered for no apparent reason, and he could see the faintest blush creeping up her neck, reaching all the way to the tips of her ears, which had turned a delicate shade of red.
As for Lyra, her pace, which had been brisk at first, gradually slowed. It was as if the comfortable silence was making her more aware of the closeness between them. She tilted her head slightly toward him before finally speaking. "I heard you did amazing at the project and got A plus," she said, her voice carrying a note of admiration.
