Under the serene moonlit sky, Ruediger's voice reached Lariette, carried by the soft breeze. Her eyes flung open, she gasped, his admittance sent her frozen in shock.
W-what?
He was indeed... Mr. Dreamer?
Despite her heart leaning on the thought, Lariette was still taken aback by Ruediger's answer. Especially at how easily he admitted the truth to her.
Lariette believed her heart suspended for a second before the rhythm became quicker, rapidly pounding against her chest. Her round eyes remained on the man before her.
'She's shocked. That's expected but... why so cute?'
The curls of Ruediger's lips rose higher. He couldn't help but think how adorable Lariette's surprised face was. She kept staring at him, her gaze blank.
Exhaling softly, Ruediger thought how to bring Lariette back to reality. Something playful crossed his mind.
Ruediger raised his hand, aligning with Lariette's face before...
Snap!
Lariette blinked. Ruediger's finger snap pulled her out of her trance.
