Anya did not seem to mind at all. She let him guide her forward, her fingers wrapped around his hand without hesitation. Once they entered the mansion, she leaned against his shoulder almost instinctively, as if it were the most natural place for her to be. The closeness showed how much she trusted him, and the faint scent clinging to her only made the moment more intimate.
Marcus removed the Fluffy Rabbit's Mask, revealing his real face. Seeing him like this, Anya visibly relaxed. She stayed close as they sat down together, her posture soft and unguarded, clearly at ease in his presence.
