Ariel Morris gave a gentle smile, "I believe in you unconditionally. Arlo, no matter what happens, I'll always be by your side, facing the storms with you."
Arlo Seys' throat moved once, his gaze deep as he looked at Ariel Morris, "Ariel, as long as you don't leave me, I won't fear losing anything!"
After hearing his words, Ariel Morris looked him up and down, feeling more and more that something was off with Arlo today. She observed him with a serious expression, "Arlo, you're not acting like yourself today. What happened? Where have you been this week?"
Arlo Seys' eyes slightly drooped, he pressed his lips together, and after a dozen seconds of silence, he spoke in a faint voice, "It's nothing—Ariel, I'll take you home."
Ariel Morris could see that he had something on his mind, but since he was unwilling to talk, she didn't press on and changed the topic considerately. Ariel Morris smiled gently at Arlo Seys, her voice soft, "Alright, Arlo, take me home then!"
