All Her Secrets

Inside a restaurant, Catherine was calmly eating, while Ronin seemed quite restless. After wrestling with the thought for a while, he finally spoke up to Catherine.

He asked, “Catherine, what do you think Edson’s deal is, coming to you so openly without any reservations?” Catherine slowly lifted her gaze. She glanced at him and asked, “Has he ever been discreet before?” Ronin thought Catherine had a point. Edson was always unruly. Every the saw Catherine, he was persistent and always got Ronin riled up.

Ronin asked, “Catherine, have you figured out how to handle Edson? Should we make searly arrangements? Just say the word, and I'll set it up.” Ronin wore an eager expression and awaited Catherine's words. He was ready to take action.

However, Catherine looked at him coldly with disdain in her eyes. “What's the point of all that? Do you get nothing better to do?” “Catherine, | didn’t mean...” Catherine lowered her eyes, and her voice turned colder. “Eat!” This word made Ronin immediately shut his mouth. After lunch, with no lab work or classes to attend, Ronin wanted Catherine to accompany him somewhere.

“Where to?” Catherine asked.

“The mall!” Ronin suggested.

Catherine thought it was fine and agreed.

Then, the two headed to Loxton’s biggest mall for comB oping.

As soon as they entered, a dessert shop caught Ronin’s attention.
