Her smile was warm, her eyes filled with anticipation and hope, albeit with a hint of caution.
Felicia wasn't quite used to the sudden closeness and replied, "I'll call you you Imogen, then." Imogen nodded. In her heart, she was determined to make up for past mistakes and bridge the gap between them.

Felicia had no choice but to suppress her anxiety and wait for news But even after an entire night passed, there was still no word from Monkey.
