Aegon didn't immediately call Elara. For some reason, he was hesitant and a little nervous. He couldn't even understand it since he never had that problem talking with anyone, especially Elara.
But now he was in this situation.
'What the hell, bro? She's your girlfriend, just talk to her.'
Taking a deep breath, he decided to just go out with it.
'What's the worst that could happen anyway? It's not like she'll dump you for not talking for a month straight after confessing, right? Goddamn it!'
His heart beat rapidly as he waited for her to pick up. Thousands of thoughts passed through his head as he simulated how their conversation would go and how he would respond to her questions.
[Hi!]
But the moment she picked up and said that one word in her low, gentle voice, everything faded away from his mind. No thoughts, no simulation, nothing remained.
