Chapter 108 Glimmer Sluicing Down

• As she continued to laugh, her face flushing red and her laughter echoing in the room, I took a seat on the bed, unsure of how to handle the situation. This was uncharted territory for me, and I didn't want to come across as too eager or desperate to make her listen. So, I simply allowed her to laugh, giving her the space she needed to express herself freely.
• Observing her closely, I noticed that there was no hint of shyness on her face, no sign of discomfort in her body language. It was as if this behavior was perfectly normal for her, as if she was completely at ease in her own skin.
• Lost in thought, my mind drifted to another place entirely, a reel of surreal images playing out before my eyes. I saw a crowded hall, bodies swaying to the rhythm of music, and amidst them all, a face that stood out like a beacon. Without hesitation, I climbed onto the stage, my eyes fixed on hers as I reached out and grasped her wrist firmly. There was no resistance as I pulled her towards me, no protest as I led her away from the crowd and into the unknown.
