"How dare you?!"
The words echoed loudly inside Thalia's ears.
She stood there frozen, watching the fury on William's face as he tightly gripped Hana's wrist.
'How dare you...?'
For some reason, those words felt strangely familiar.
A blurry image suddenly flashed through her mind.
A different place. A different time but the same man stood in front of her.
His clothes were simple. A worn brown vest over a rolled-up white shirt, as though he had just finished working.
One hand held her wrist firmly. The other held a white rabbit. His dark eyes stared directly at her.
Not angry, more like annoyed.
'I've been looking into who has been stealing my rabbits.'
A young fox instantly froze.
Several half-eaten carrots rolled out from her sleeves and landed on the ground.
The rabbit in his arm twitched innocently.
The man's gaze slowly lowered toward the evidence.
Then back to her.
One eyebrow raised.
'And it turns out…' His grip on her wrist tightened slightly.
'It's you.'
