A few minutes earlier...
"It should be quieter around here."
Viola thought that taking Ezekiel away from the crowd would help him feel better. The people was still lively in the distance, but at least this area was far enough away from the noise and attention.
She glanced at him worriedly.
"Are you alright now?"
"No."
Ezekiel answered immediately.
Viola's heart skipped a beat.
His response came so fast and so bluntly that panic instantly filled her chest.
Oh no.
She moved closer to him, her brows knitting together in concern.
"Should we leave this place immediately? Please tell me what I can do to make you feel better."
This time, however, Ezekiel already knew that Clyde had followed them. He could feel the man's gaze from afar.
A faint smile appeared on Ezekiel's face.
"Would you allow me to kiss you?"
"Huh?"
Viola blinked in confusion.
