Silence…
The two of them stood side by side, sipping the juice William had brought earlier. Neither said a word.
William had acted out of jealousy and heat in the moment, and now he was feeling shy about it.
Emma was no different. They kept glancing away from each other, their cheeks warm.
Neither of them had ever been in a situation like this—William had never kissed a girl so openly before, and for Emma, romance itself was something new. No wonder they were acting like this.
After a long pause, Emma finally spoke.
"So you were bothered about me not wearing a blazer, huh?"
She had noticed how he made her wear his blazer, and the things he said while they walked to the ceremonial hall… It all made sense now.
William grumbled, "Being a guy, I notice things you might not. And when I saw those boys staring at you… with that annoying look in their eyes, I just couldn't stop myself."
He let out a heavy breath and rubbed the back of his head.
