In the car, Becky turned to look at Devin. “Are you also intrigued?”
Devin beamed upon hearing her remarks. “Intrigued by what?”
“Am I Royi or not?”
At this moment, the traffic lights turned red. Devin brought the car to a gradual halt. He swiveled his head to look at Becky and asked, “Is it important?”
Honestly, Becky was taken aback by his response. A bright grin formed on her face, and she said, “No.”
Devin asked, “What I want to know is when you want to have another relationship.”
Becky gathered her wits after a few seconds and stared at Devin. “Actually, I also want to know.”
Devin smiled. “If you are ready, please let me know.”
Becky just smiled and remained quiet.
Twenty minutes later, Devin pulled over.
“At least let me walk you to the building,” Devin offered as he unfastened his seat belt.
He stepped out of the vehicle and moved to the side of the passenger seat, where he opened the door while holding an umbrella.
Outside, it was dark and rainy. Becky gave him a blank stare in response. She felt a little chilly when a gust of wind came in through the open door.
As she stepped out of the vehicle, Becky said, “Thank you for driving me home.”
“It’s a little cold. Let’s go inside.”
Devin bowed his head in her direction as his eyes fixated on her. Becky was able to get a glimpse of the passion in his eyes with just a look since they were so close together.
She saw herself in his eyes.
After a moment of indecision, she turned around and walked toward her apartment.
Becky saw that the side of Devin’s suit was practically soaked with rain.
The umbrella wasn’t small. Devin would not have gotten wet if he had been nearer to Becky.
However, Devin maintained some small distance from her as they walked.
