Noah watched her reaction with surprise. 'She's that worried about a ribbon?'
A faint smile formed on his lips. He leaned forward. "Were you afraid of losing it? Do you like it that much?"
Lyria nodded slightly. 'Y-yes."
"Or is it because I gave it to you?" The he leaned further and whispered near her ear. His warm breathe tickled her ear.
"He-Hey! That's not it!" She moved her face slightly away from his.
Her cheeks turned pink. Heat flooded to her face."I-I just... I can't lose a gift from a friend! That's all!"
Her heart was already beating faster.
Noah chuckled at her flustered expression. "Sure. Whatever you say."
"Don't laugh!"
He laughed a little more. By then, her hair had dried completely.
Noah switched off the hair dryer and placed it aside. He then picked up the pink ribbon, which had a small golden ornament in its center.
"All right. Look at the mirror."
"Hm?"
"I'm going to braid your hair now."
Lyria blinked. "Y-You know how to do that?"
