Eric wasn't very enthusiastic about this topic, leaving Aldana Candi unsure about how to continue the conversation.
The connection between her and Eric had always been about Ellen alone.
Once Ellen's influence over Eric diminished, there wouldn't be much to talk about between her and him.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly dipped, the air becoming stifling due to the silence.
Eric walked over and resumed towel-drying her hair. Aldana Candi shook her head, "Eric, it's okay, I can dry it with a hairdryer later."
Eric glanced at her, put the towel aside, and came to sit beside her.
Aldana Candi hugged her knees, lowered her gaze, and softly asked, "Do you also think that Ellen isn't coming back anymore?"
Eric paused slightly.
