"It's okay, darling. Forget about it and let's eat okay?" Arnold caressed the back of Kyoko's hand, reassuring him. The latter nodded with a forced smile.

"Thank you for having me. I really enjoyed today." Kyoko hugged Evelyn one last time, before getting inside Arnold's car, and Evelyn returned the gesture.

"I had fun too. Keep in touch." She said, waving at him as the car drove away.

Soon after dropping Kyoko in front of his apartment, Arnold left. He entered the living room, his eyes frantically searched for something. After looking for a while, he finally found the box Kyoko had brought.

He sighed in relief and smiled as he took the box. His sister who was watching this peculiar behaviour of her brother, gave him a weird look.
"Can I have some?" She asked, getting herself a glare.

"He made it. What makes you think I will share?" He carefully opened the box and ate a round white colored sweet.

As he was savouring the flavour, Evelyn decided to ask her something that had been bothering her for a while.

"Do you really love Kyoko?"
