Everything clicked into place for the group.
“You knew all along?” Linus asked.
“Don’t discuss this with Cyn. Neither help nor hinder. Especially you two,” Mitchell
advised, paying special attention to Riley and Gaby,
Everyone knew how close Riley and Gaby were to Cynthia. They were as clase as could be.
Without warning, they might turn around and spill everything to Cynthia, who would
probably avoid Captain if she knew his feelings.
“Captain really kept his feelings well hidden.” Riley sighed, feeling reassured. “He must
have had feelings for Cyn even before he retired, right? When did it start?”
“I don’t know,” replied Mitchell truthfully,
No one knew when Captain had started having feelings for Cynthia, Captain was a person
who clearly distinguished between public and private matters. Even when he was in
training and obviously had feelings for Cynthia, he never went easy on her.
On further thought, it seemed perfectly reasonable.
“Indeed, that’s a relief. No one would dare to bully Cyn when she’s with the Captain,”
Gaby agreed, her anxiety visibly lessened.
The matter was mutually and tacitly kept secret among them all As Mitchell had put it,

Cynthia herself.

overthinking, she voiced her thoughts, “Then why do you bring me breakfast and invite
me to eat at your place?”
“Because…” Matthew’s words trailed off, leaving the sentence unfinished. He wanted to
say that it was because he liked her, but Cynthia, though somewhat intoxicated, was not

“That’s not right,” Cynthia said seriously.
Matthew raised an eyebrow in surprise. “Oh?”
“You’re not that kind of person.” Even though she was drunk, Cynthia was confident in her
understanding of her captain’s character.
Matthew merely smiled and continued walking with Cynthia on his back Cynthia felt her
mind spinning. Thoughts about Joshua’s accident and the Captain swirled around in her
mind, twisting and turning like a ball of yarn in a kitten’s play, creating a messy whirl.
