Rather than answering Abby, Eugene picked up a leaf instead. He tossed it in the air, and surprisingly enough, the leaf remained afloat and went up, up and the way instead of the other way around.
Abby followed the floating leaf with her eyes as went further up. It did not stop from advancing forward and the said leaf soon vanished from her sight in no time.
"What are they called?"Abby could not help but asked as she observed the thing floating around them"They were simply bubbles made from the bubble machine over there."
"Nature sure knows how to choose the best timing."Jorah said.Abby had no idea when did he arrived, but when she looked down her feet, the cat was already sitting next to hers."Yeah, sure they are."Abby said to no one in particular as she simpered a smile and looked up at the sky.Gazing at the stars just like Jorah."Shall we go inside?"Abby invited Jorah and the cat agreed right away.""Just about time."And with that, they headed back inside the house together. On their way back at Abby's room, Jorah opened up a conversation with Abby"I heard from Master Eugene that you had been woken up from a bad dream. I knew it! You must have been haunted by the sight of me punishing those jerks. I am very sorry you have to see that, little girl."Jorah said and from the way how he sounded, it was clear for all ears to hear how deeply sorry he must have been feeling.He was probably blaming himself for Abby's nightmares."It was me who put you in this suffering. I am very sorry, little girl
Early the next day, Eugene could be seen talking to his pet Jorah.Judging from how serious they were discussing among themselves, it was not that hard to guess that they were planning about something."I want you to investigate them and track them down wherever the hell they were hiding."Eugene issued his command and Jorah nodded his head to let his master knew that he got him loud and clear.Eugene may not have shown it that often before, but the truth was that he truly cared for Abby.
In just a span of few seconds, a passageway opened up out of nowhere and out from that said mysterious passage emerged Eugene, followed by Jorah.Abby was waiting just outside the secret room so when the two came out, she and Eugene immediately locked eye contact. Yet both of them were quick to avert each other's gazes.Seeing this, Jorah only smirked and whistled away as they headed to the kitchen.They ate together in silence at the long dining table. Eugene was seated at the center end of the table while Abby took the other end. Putting a meter or two distance between them.
Meanwhile, seeing their sad faces, Eugene could not help but smile. For him they were like two kids that had been deprived of treats."Don't worry though. I would go get some help to get Abby's garden work done fast.""Really?!!!!"Abby and Jorah blurted out almost at the same time.Not just Abby, but Jorah was also visibly thrilled when he heard Eugene's plan. But then when the realization hit Abby, she went a little stiff."Wait a second. When you
"Ohh... I see.."Abby murmured with a despondent tone.Neither of them wanted the awkward silence to get in between them since Jorah was not there at the moment to save the air. But Abby was simply at lost of what to say. Good thing that Eugene was able to think of something to talk with."Just so you know, when I said that I would be having earth nymphs to come and help you here, it did not necessarily mean that you would be able to get to see them right away. It was so rare for a mere mortal like you to get to see them primarily because they did not trust your likes to begin with. They prefer to live a life of solitude so seeing one of them was really a tough nut to crack even for us, practitioners of magic; unless of course if they allow you to see them."Abby, on the other hand, had her all ears at Eugene. She tried to listen and picked up as much information as she could from his lecture.The fact that Abby had a slight deterrence towards the other magical creatures did not neces
As usual, Eugene saved her from another embarrassing moment as he pulled her into the safety of his embrace and caught her with those reliable arms of his."Close your eyes."He whispered next to her ears and of course, Abby felt another course of butterflies in her stomach because of the unexpected close proximity with Eugene's handsome face.As though compelled by a magic spell, Abby indeed closed her eyes right away but when she was reminded of what happened last night, she hurriedly opened them again as wide as saucer plates.
"Are you jesting with me? There was nothing in here."Abby said with a pout, but when she turned to look at Eugene's direction again, she saw him holding a bouquet of flowers.The blue petals of the hydrangea flowers complimented Eugene's eyes very well.Abby was left speechless when she saw this. Eugene was also not saying anything, instead, he had his eyes glued on the flowers at his hand. As such, Abby thought that the other party was shy.'Is that why he asked me to close my eyes? Is all this dra
