The slight anger of hers vanished quickly again as he explained the reasoning behind his words. With a forgiving smile she gave him, she accepted his offer once more, hooking up with his arm, as they were again looking like a weird couple as previously already.

It would actually be pretty interesting to meet them one day. On the other hand ... I'm quite sure you wouldn't want that, would you?"

With a smile, she added: "Also, please, this 'Miss Voigt' has become silly, don't you think? I've always liked the sound of Elena more anyways."
