"Was I in love with you?"
The moment she said that, my face froze. She was staring at me with that curious look on her face.
I found myself looking away from her.
And somehow, I recalled that one time Ruby gave me a quick peck on my cheek.
My entire face went hot.
How did she find out?
Does this version of Ruby also—
No. No. Impossible.
"Eh?!" Just now, I saw her face flush.
"That expression—"
Her eyes wavered on my flushed face as I kept trying to avoid looking at her.
"Is that true? Was I?!"
She took a step back, as if not believing it.
Stammering, she asked,
"Ho—How did you pull this off?!"
Alright, now this somehow pissed me off.
"Hey, that's rude, you know… and for your information…"
I grinned slightly before answering.
"...Ruby's the one who proposed to me."
Well, that's a lie. But I still wanted to say it.
Blinking at my obvious response, she narrowed her gaze.
"Now, that's a lie."
"..."
"Ahem," I changed the topic. "Now, do you believe me?"
