A handkerchief with a light blue checkered border was then extended toward her.
"Thank you!"
Vera Wave took the offered handkerchief, blinked several times, and the tears clinging to her eyelashes slid down. The blurry figure before her finally came into focus.
Standing before her was a man in his thirties, dressed in a graphite-grey suit. Beneath his short hair, his handsome, angular face appeared somewhat stern.
However, at that moment, the eyes beneath his sharp eyebrows were filled with warmth as they watched her with concern.
Upon seeing the man's face clearly, confusion seeped into Vera's tear-filled eyes.
"Who are you...?"
His face looked vaguely familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, though she couldn't quite place him.
"Vera, you... you don't recognize me?" The man's brows furrowed. "I'm Nathan Leafcastle!"
Nathan Leafcastle?!
Hearing this familiar-sounding name, Vera thought carefully and finally remembered who he was.
