I frowned at his words, "Your sense of belonging comes from me?"
He didn't answer me but only stared at me.
I couldn't read him, so I fell silent.
It was an hour's ride from Andoland to Ucrebury. Aaron pulled his strings to sit beside me, but he didn't say a word to me in the whole journey. He only looked quietly at the scenery outside the window.
"Dear passengers, we have arrived in Ucrebury The broadcast started as soon as the train stopped by the station.
I got up and reached for my luggage on the rack. Before I could reach it, somebody took it down for me.
There were only clothes in the luggage. It wasn't heavy, but it wasn't light either.
Aaron was taller than me by half a head. I looked at him and stuck out my arm to take away the luggage as I said, "Thank you!"
He held the luggage in his hand, then grabbed my hand with another. I frowned and wanted to escape from his grasp.
He tightens his grasp, "It's too crowded here.
It's not safe."
I frowned, "I know. Let go of me!"
I struggled a few more times, but I still couldn't escape from his grasp. We eventually walked out along with other passengers.
People around us started whispering.
"Wow! He's so handsome!"
"Don't be silly. Don't you see that he already has a wife? His wife is pregnant."
"Oh, it's a pity. His wife is so lucky!"
Aaron looked at me with a faint smile.
Ignoring him, I lowered my head and left along with the crowd.
