"What just happened?" I asked myself.
I was still standing in the doorway of my hotel room. Then I looked down at the gift Houkou had given me. I walked backwards into the room, still staring at my present. I could see an upside down mirrored me in the silver bell.
I was now standing in front of my dresser's mirror. I took it out of the box and put it around my neck.
'It's perfect!' I thought, smiling to myself. 'Why would Houkou be so nervous though?'
I heard a knock on the door. Half of me wanted it to be Houkou, but the other half knew it wasn't...
"Kaku?" I said opening the door.
"Hi Neka! I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to get some dinner in the hotel...There's a comedian performing tonight." He asked.
"Uh, sure!" I agreed walking out of the room.
"That's a pretty choker you have on." he commented.
"Thanks. Houkou gave it to me!" I grinned.
"Oh." was all he replied.
After that an awkward silence fell upon us.
