(Author’s POV)
"Let’s go. I’ll tell you about it on the way," Fabian said as he cleverly extended his hand, donning a charismatic smile, "Miss, shall we?"
Myra paused for a teeny tiny second, her eyes fluttering as Nora’s words streamed through her mind, ’Do you have romantic feelings towards Prof. Stephens?’ Her inner thoughts instantly lit up, ’Why did Nora ask something like that? Yelena said something similar as well. Does it look like that to others?’
"My~ra~ .... Myra??" Fabian tapped her forehead lightly, affectionately. She snapped out of it as he added, "Why do you seem so dazed? Something troubling you? Tell me. You know, I’m a good listener."
"Umhmm~ ..." Myra quickly shook her head and denied, "~ ...Nothing like that."
He shrugged, "Okay then~ ..." He extended his hand once again, but this time he gave a plausible explanation, "My car is parked at some distance. And I don’t want you to lose your balance and stumble upon some rock or pebble~ .... So, for safety reasons, you see."
Myra observed his neutral facial expression for a fraction of a second. She then smacked her forehead internally, ’Ohhhh gosh, this brain of mine. I am just thinking too much. Fabian~ ... he is behaving like his normal, usual self. And I~ .... *huffff* What is even going through my head? There is no romantic tension between us; there is no way. It is all because of those weird things they keep on asking. Yeah~ ... that’s it. Let’s not dwell on it, Myra and make him feel awkward by my absurdness, now." She placed her right hand gracefully on his and muttered, "Let’s get going then," giving him a curt smile of her own.
Though his expression didn’t change in the least, Fabian’s heart was pounding intensely with anticipation of what was to come. With each passing second, his optimism, his confidence skyrocketed.
He secured her hand in his, mentally vowing never to let it go. He then started walking at a pace that matched hers perfectly. If anyone sees them right this instant, they would take them as a couple, deeply in love.
They reached his car, and like a true gentleman, he opened the passenger door and helped her settle inside. He took the wheel and said, looking straight into Myra’s hazels, "Myra~ ...."
"Hmmm," she hummed, gazing back. "You know~ .... today is going to be the best day of my life."
"Huhh, and why’s that?" Myra was a little confused. Fabian chuckled and fastened his seat belt, "I just have this feeling." Then, without adding anything else, the vehicle zoomed off.
After getting out of the Red Stone vicinity, he started to make small talk, "Ummm~ .... soooo~ ... last night, did you sleep~ ... well?"
"Ummhmm~ .... I certainly did," she answered honestly. After a long, long time, she slept like a log despite the earlier chaos. Otherwise, all this while, in the hospital, her nights, her sleep was filled with either a past memory of Amy or some nightmare.
