Zoey Sanders pulled at the corner of her lips and glanced at him.
This person really wasn't good at taking care of a girl's emotions.

Zoey forced a warm, fake smile, "Thank you."
"It's the least I can do."
Zoey didn't know how to respond.

After organizing her thoughts for what felt like forever, she finally asked, "I'm going back now. Aren't you going to say anything to me?"
He turned his head to look at her, seemingly pondering her question seriously.
After a long while, he faintly smiled, "Have a... safe trip!"
Zoey looked into his eyes, a slight flicker in hers, "I like you."
The young girl's confession was abrupt and straightforward.
