The Empire of Reimia (3)

Although Linnea often wondered if Ipheon had suspected her presence in the park at the time, the young man's question still caught the girl off guard. Apparently, she wasn't the only one who often pondered the events of that day. "I won't lie, it's true," the Reimi admitted with a sigh. "At first, it was by chance, and then I was afraid to reveal myself and make the situation awkward, both for you and for me. Sometimes I even thought about confessing, but then I remembered your request and was afraid that it would cause you unnecessary worry. I'm very sorry that I acted so badly towards you and your mother."
