Chapter 2: A Day at the Theater, and a Covert Operation

Luke Waldstein was sitting alone in his dimly lit room after sundown. He breathed a heavy sigh.

“Why couldn’t I say it...?” he asked himself. He still had the theater ticket that he’d failed to give to Noelle. He told himself he wasn’t afraid of rejection—there was just something terribly embarrassing about formally asking her to go to the theater with him.

No, he thought, burying his face in his hands. I am afraid. Afraid of what might happen if our relationship changes. What if she can’t see me as a friend anymore?

Nothing was more important to Luke than having Noelle by his side. He was terrified, unable to bear the thought of losing what they already had. He wondered if it might be better to simply continue as before.

He was so ashamed of his cowardice that he couldn’t look at himself in the mirror. I haven’t changed one bit.

Laughing bitterly at himself, Luke pulled a box out from the back of his wardrobe. Inside the box lay small parcels enclosed in decorative wrapping paper. He gazed at them fondly. They were birthday presents he’d prepared for her back when they’d studied together at the academy of magic. Year after year, he had fired himself up to give her a present after failing previously, but in the end, he could never do it. The memories were painful and sad, but a little comforting at the same time.

Those parcels weren’t all that was in the box. There also were some poems he’d scribbled down with her in mind, and there was the setlist he’d prepared for a scenario where he would put on a concert for her. As he happened upon a page full of his and her names written with the same surname, he agitatedly shut the notebook.

What the hell was I thinking back then? There was something quite pathetic about the contents of that box. I guess that’s just how much I loved her.

His feelings hadn’t changed whatsoever. If anything, they had intensified after all that time.

I want...to try and push ahead a little further.

As the eldest son of a duke, he knew he was forbidden from expressing these feelings. Even so, he wanted the two of them to remain close, and he wanted to get to know her better.
