Lorraine walked ahead of them in silence.
Right now she didn't know what to say at all, she wanted to say a lot but her mouth was sealed shut due to her anxiousness.
Her voice had been calm when she introduced herself as the Student Council President, but inside, her thoughts were anything but composed.
Her heart thumped hard enough that she worried Rain might notice.
She had dreamed of this day for over a year, ever since they had gone their separate ways. She had rehearsed countless scenarios of how their reunion would play out.
In most of them, she ran straight into his arms without hesitation.
She imagined him catching her, holding her tightly and telling her that he missed her, well it was too much to ask for but that was what she wanted to happen.
But that hadn't happened.
Azel walked a few paces behind her, his expression cool and his face was unreadable.
If he recognized her, he gave no sign.
Not a flicker in his crimson eyes.
