Chapter 14. Doubt

Amelia’s POV

“Have you eaten lunch, Amelia?” she inquired after we had been giggling for a few minutes.

“It was already two o’clock in the afternoon,” I replied while checking my wristwatch to see what time it was. I’m feeling better now. My heartbeat isn’t as strong as it used to be. Perhaps it was as a result of Nikita’s presence that I was able to relax. “And what about you?”

“I just had a late lunch. I returned from my cousin’s house, but he was not there.”

I just shrugged my shoulder in response to what she said. She has always mentioned that she had a cousin, but I have never met him and have no intention of becoming friends with him.

“Are you busy, Amelia, or do you have something to do?”

“Why?”

“I was going to invite you to hang out by the sea until sunset. I’ll go back to my cousin’s house later; I’m too lazy to go home.
