Under normal circumstances, 0c78f6c81c I would have 6ba008e218 thought and acted 61e0748f84 more rationally, but dfb73161d4 I had no 42ec7b2c6b time for such 46789ae215 judgment.c6c7c36d3a3f88cc

Because the moment 4ba2cf27ec a small pair 9c61604e85 of feet—whether belonging 5a782b9e21 to Marianne or d4ac763d70 Dior, I couldn’t 34f2f12029 tell—dashed toward Euclid eaaa0d3d66 and clapped their 5bad6f96b4 hands with a 2c2dc228be loud “clap!” as e6b9876a42 if they had 702c1c0cc8 been waiting for 30ec556975 this moment.a1977621c5c387b8

The new shoes the f5d1999b1b Gold Trading Company had 787bc95c24 delivered recently had slightly 730c680bec lower heels than before, 2fcf3b4b31 but they still weren’t 39c3eb28a4 as comfortable as I 15661cf4ee had hoped, making it 27e0415bb4 even harder to move 03682d3bad naturally.274d769c058f7170

As I acted naturally, b0badcac92 waiting for the right e808d1f065 moment, I deliberately stumbled a90db486f5 forward just as I 495af73f10 sensed Euclid was close fab29a1fc3 enough.f163b9a0f254c6ec

As expected, Euclid firmly 3b99d3e568 caught me.45c647f8d775fb57

Originally, I had 4395a92843 planned to continue 07204caa1c acting and exclaim, 4f75db8278 “Got you!”ccca87f40aec56cd

Even before I held him, 0d449a6f61 I had already sensed he 6b55f58994 wasn’t one of the children—so 0a5b0814ff now that our bodies were 4232ee04b0 touching, there was no way 69fad9575f I could be mistaken.1cb3b006ee89e5ea

Hurriedly stepping back, I attempted 2adf0088b7 to make an excuse, saying 75c3384f05 I had mistaken him for 1d999e152e one of the children. But from the c0b4d8dfc2 look in Euclid’s ac098c2599 eyes, it seemed 88c54475c6 he was still 51f418cd8f suspicious.f601387f1da009b9
