Flora just couldn't wrap her head around it. Selene's expression was genuinely off.
"Because I love him!" she declared.
And she had loved him for many, many years!
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Flora almost choked on her own spit, staring at Selene with wide eyes, her voice trembling, "What did you just say?"
Was it the kind of 'love' she thought it was?
"Flora, I'm not joking with you. I've been in love with S for three years. Can you take me to see him?"
Selene wouldn't have come to Flora if she wasn't desperate.
She'd finally made it back to Austenberg and had a shot at attending Club 257's annual meeting. If she didn't see S this time, she might never get another chance.
Flora: "......"
Had Selene lost her marbles?
Why would she fall for her?
"Actually... I am S."
Flora said it seriously; she didn't want to mess up the young girl's life.
She'd rather reveal her secret, but when Selene heard her, she was first stunned, then angry and annoyed, her face turning red: "If you didn't want to take me to see S, you could've just said so. Why lie to me?"
"I am S."
"Flora, you've really let me down!"
Selene felt humiliated. They might not be best friends, but they shared a bond. She'd poured her heart out, only to be mocked.
After venting her frustration, Selene shot Flora a fiery glare before storming off.
Flora felt utterly helpless.
These days, nobody believes the truth.
If they don't believe it, so be it.
"What's going on?"
Seeing Selene leave, Connor walked over, his voice gentle.
"Nothing," Flora shrugged.
Connor handed her a cocktail: "I made this for you. Give it a try."
