As I sat across from Houkou, I couldn't help the urge to want to hug him again...
But I stayed still. I watched him for a while, but only in quick glances.
He seemed to be concentrating on something, very hard.
I let out a quiet sigh and carefully leaned back on the couch. Now he was staring at me. I felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.
"Why hasn't Francis been with you all this time?" Houkou spoke up.
"Um...he and my Father have been...traveling. And they decided to come here for a while...." I made out.
"So...how long are they staying?" he asked.
"I don't know...it depends..." I said.
He moved in a little closer. "Depends on what?"
"On what they are planning to do." I explained.
If this continues I might have to leave...Father WILL kill me if I let out too much information as it is.
But he stopped talking. But he had a look on his face that he wanted to ask more...
