"It just happened that I bumped into him and almost fell, so I accidentally grabbed his hand. Then later, my headache came back…" She tried her best to explain, worried that he might misunderstand.
"Was everything you said to him just nonsense?" he asked again.
She froze, her voice stuck in her throat, unable to come out. Nonsense?
It wasn't nonsense, it was what the little girl in her dream had said to the boy. But now, how could she explain that?
She didn't want to lie to him, yet she also didn't want to say too much and cause unnecessary misunderstandings before she figured out the truth.
"Is this question that hard to answer?" His silence broke as he lifted his head slightly, his dark, shimmering eyes fixed on her.
"I… I was in so much pain that I was barely conscious. I don't even remember what I said," Rachel admitted.
That was the truth. As for everything else, maybe she could only give him an answer once she uncovered it herself.
