Yet, her expression gave her away.
"What's on your mind?" Compared to the storm of fury he was before, Gilbert now seemed like a completely different person.

With one hand supporting her waist and the other gently brushing her hair behind her ear, Gilbert chuckled softly, "So what if I were a ghost? Seems like you still care about me, huh?" Sherilyn's eyes widened in shock. What? What did he just say? Since when did she care about him? She, the person in question, was unaware of this development.

Gilbert shook his head, unconcerned.
