"T-that . . . that sounds scary." Leonel didn't want Evie to turn tail now that she and Ren were getting close. At least one of them should have a smooth-sailing romance.

Evie was surely scared by now. Leonel thought, and he slowly shifted in Evie's direction. His movement was stiff, like he broke a bone in his neck. "E-Evie . . . don't be scared. You have nothing to worry about. A-as long as I'm here, everything will be fine."

Evie blinked. She wasn't scared, though. Ren was there, and with his lead, she was sure everything would come out fine in the end. It always did.

However, she didn't want to deny Leonel the satisfaction of his comfort, so she said instead, "I'm counting on you."

Leonel gave a thumbs up, hands shaking and lips trembling as he forced a smile.
