"You've been crying."

Miles ignored her words, his gaze fixed on the red rims of her eyes.

Even though the tears had dried, the redness and swelling wouldn't disappear in an instant.

"No, I haven't!" Felicity widened her eyes guiltily, feigning realization. "Oh, my eyes? Yeah, they felt a bit uncomfortable on my way home today. Might be pink eye or something." "I'll take you to see a doctor," he said, moving forward to grab her hand.

Felicity instinctively stepped back. "No need, I've already seen one. We have some eye drops at home."

"Is there anything else? If not-"

"Felicity, I did promise to give you a month to think things over, but at the least, during these thirty days, I'm still your brother."

Putting aside all other roles, Felicity had grown up trailing behind him.

"I am your brother, huh? I didn't say otherwise." Felicity mumbled, lowering her lashes, avoiding his gaze.

At that moment, she was somewhat grateful she was much shorter than Miles.
