Nolan found himself in a rather awkward situation. Chloe, the head of Falling Star Academy, was pressing her body against his.
Their faces were only a few centimeters apart.
He could clearly smell the faint scent of jasmine on her breath.
"So," she whispered. "Can you explain this to me, the man in the story?"
Her voice sounded calm, but Nolan could sense the anger simmering beneath it.
He remained silent for a moment before letting out a long sigh.
"When did you get your memories back?"
A faint smile appeared on Chloe's lips. She traced his lips gently with her thumb.
"Not long ago. Just a few days ago."
"A few days ago?" Nolan raised an eyebrow slightly.
That was around the same time he and Evalyn had returned from their journey into the past.
"Don't tell me Chloe regained her memories when we returned," he thought.
It was the only explanation that made sense.
"Don't look away from me," Chloe said coldly.
