She had handled countless divorce cases, and as a woman herself, she understood just how deeply a failed marriage could scar someone–how it could shape a woman’s life long after the vows were broken.
“We’re just friends,” Tess said lightly, offering a faint smile.
She rubbed her temples and leaned back against the cushion, feigning exhaustion as she closed her eyes for a moment.
Lyra noticed she didn’t want to talk and wisely stayed quiet.
“Hello, has the train been dyed? It should have arrived by now,” came a sudden voice nearby -manly, slightly hesitant in Crorusese, but soft and pure, the kind that immediately puts you
at ease.
Something about the voice felt familiar to Lyra. She looked up, her eyes widening in surprise.
Across from them sat a man who looked almost unreal.
His skin was pale and smooth, his eyes a bright, deep blue that seemed to shine. His nose was straight and sharp, and his features were strong, but there was also a soft, gentle air about him that made anyone feelfortable just looking at him.
<i>Wait</i>…
Lyra’s mouth opened slightly, her eyes full of shock and excitement.
“You know him?”
Tess opened her eyes, noticing the change in Lyra’s expression. She followed Jade’s gaze and saw the man.
Tess, used to handsome men, still felt a flutter at how calm and confident he seemed.
Even Lyra, usually so calm, couldn’t hide her excitement and gripped Tess’s hand tightly.
“That … that’s L Scardino, the world’s most famous pianist right now,” Lyra whispered.
“L Scardino?”

Tess frowned. The name sounded strangely familiar, but she couldn’t remember why.
She pushed the thought aside for now, keeping her question to herself.

“Thest stop for this train is Krigan. How could a guy from Yripend even be here? Maybe he just looks a little like someone?”
Lyra scratched her head as she looked at him.
Krigan wasn’t exactly a rich city in Crorus. Forget world–famous pianists–most domestic stars didn’t even bother performing here.
“Maybe … he’s just traveling?” Tess offered dryly.
Lyra shrugged, giving no real answer.
Silence fell again. But Tess suddenly remembered the man’s question to the conductor.
She checked her phone–well past the scheduled arrival time.
“Looks like it’ll be at least half an hour past check–in by the time we reach the hotel,” she said.
Lyra sighed.
Tess stared out the window. The night wasn’t too deep yet, but the world outside was dark, dotted with stars.
For some reason, she feltpletely calm.
On returning home, maybe she could stop by Gillian’s house.
She let hershes fall.
“Excuse me, are you from Krigan?”
A nervous voice broke the quiet.
Lyra looked up first. The handsome man they had been watching earlier now stood awkward and shy in front of them.
His bright blue eyes were fixed on Tess’s face.
“Me?” Tess asked.
“Yes, yes!”

He sped his hands tightly and nodded hard.
“I am. Do you need any help?”
Tess’s brows lifted in confusion.
The moment Ld spoke, his eyes excitement. “Can I go home with you?”
“What?!”
Lyra’s eyes went wide.

lit up like sparkling gemstones. His voice trembled with
A cup of coffee tipped over onto the table.
She coughed for a long moment before regaining herposure.
She stared at the man in disbelief, then nced at Tess as if to make sure she hadn’t imagined <ol><li>it. </li></ol>
Tess’s lips twitched.
Ld seemed startled by their reactions, looking even more timid, yet he didn’t move away.
“I … I …” His hands fidgeted together, fingers pressing nervously against each other. Still, he lifted his eyes <i>to </i>them, stammering, “Can I go home with you?”
Lyra’s expression had moved past shock–it was pure awe.
She looked straight at Tess, her eyes silently saying, “When did you start having this kind of effect on people?”
A stranger on the train, alreadypletely won over and asking to go home with her?
Even Lyra, usually <i>so </i>calm, felt it was unreal.
Tess gave a small, apologetic smile. “Sorry, we don’t know each other.”
“I know you!”
Ld’s eyes shone brightly, as if afraid Tess wouldn’t believe him.
He hurried back to his seat and returned carrying a small, finely made leather bag.

Tess squinted slightly when she saw the bag, her curiosity piqued.
