338 Sarah, I think...

"I like you."

"Ah…cough cough." Varian coughed and nearly choked on his own saliva. He thought he was hearing things. But as a level 6 Enhanced Awakener, he wouldn't buy his own excuse.

His brain refused to focus on her words and his body just wanted to slip out. Varian decided to slap himself. He should've made an announcement as a dreamer or thrown a hologram into her home to her he's safe.

'I totally deserve this.' Painfully aware of her intense stare, Varian felt his heart race.

"I like you." Sarah said again, her face blushing like a ripe tomato. But she cupped his cheeks and looked into his eyes.

Varian could feel her hands shake fiercely. She was trying to control her nervousness with her Awakener powers, but still couldn't stop trembling.

Just how nervous was she?
