"You seemed conflicted," Nine suddenly noted, grabbing me back from my thoughts.
My eyes snapped back to her and I sighed.
"Oh, I was just thinking…"
"Don't worry Lady Nadia, I will immediately inform you if they send another book," Estelle then tried to assure me.
A smile formed on my lips.
"Thank you, Estelle."
Estelle returned my smile with her own and we kind of stopped talking for probably a minute. We were just there, enjoying the nice atmosphere, the silence when she suddenly gasped out loud.
"Oh no. I forgot that I'm meeting Vivienne!" She blurted out of the blue. "I will take my leave first. Goodbye!" She even curtsied before completely leaving the establishment.
"Take care!" I called out after her but the door was already closed.
Oh, well…
"Meow…"
I looked down and a furry black cat slinked right next to the hem of my dress before leaping atop the wooden counter. It rubbed its furry head on Nine's arms lovingly while purring.
