The woman quietly looking up at the sky was beautiful like a painting. Her serene expression reflected the starlight like a calm lake.
Her attitude was so nonchalant that I unconsciously countered.
“……Even now?”
“No.”
It was an immediate answer.
But it wasn’t a convincing response.
Wasn’t she the woman who had been betrayed by the person she trusted the most? After that day, living like a wreck, how many times must she have repeated resenting God.
Nevertheless, my doubt didn’t turn into words.
The woman’s gaze was slowly returning to me. A clear, innocent eye smile tickled my heart as it passed by.
Sometimes eyes convey more emotions than words.
Faced with that gaze full of affection, I had no choice but to blush and turn my eyes away.
“Because I met you.”
The night was deepening inexorably.
