As she stared at me, Jewel shrieked. Her hands pressed against her face. 'When I remember that, I can't help but flush."



'What?" Stephanie asked again in response.



Topaz, on the other hand, sounded like she was begging Jewel to spill the beans.



While I was experiencing goosebumps up my spine to the base of my skull, Topaz inquired, touching her shoulders many times because of the thrill.



I kept my cool while holding the mug. Despite my constricted chest, I maintained a blank expression on my face.
