A chair floated over and landed in front of Eugene. Slowly slinking closer, Ciel swallowed a gulp and sat on the chair.
The distance between them was so close that their knees were touching. While staring into Eugene’s face, which was right in front of her nose, Ciel could feel her heart pounding loudly.
