As you sat watching television, lost in the flickering screen, a gentle tap on your shoulder pulled you back to reality.
”…Hey..”
You turned to find Astra leaning over the back of the couch, her face inches from yours, a playful smile dancing on her lips. The warmth in her golden eyes made your heart skip a beat.
“C’mon, let’s go outside… and bring your camera, too..~ Just for today… I won’t ask for more tomorrow..”
She slid a white sunhat onto her head, adjusting her sunglasses before extending her hand toward you, fingers open, waiting—inviting.
“We’ll have fun, I promise..~ And I’ll give you an even bigger gift than last time..!~”
Her voice was light, teasing, but there was something else in it—something soft, something that made it impossible to resist her pull.
