Episode 7

      Amelia was working outside chopping the woods. It was early in the morning. Luther came outside, just woke up and saw Amelia working hard, trying to chop the woods. "Hey... should I do it?" "No, it's alright. You can go and do your work instead."

Luther didn't say anything and just came near her. Amelia was stunned when she saw that Luther stood behind her, very close. She could feel his breath as he said, "At least hold the chopper properly...." and hold her hands. He held her hand and chop the wood in the middle with only one blow

Before Amelia noticed that the wood had been chopped, she quickly backed away from him, feeling a flustered, her face a bit red, "Yo-you can chop these woods instead. I am going to the village to buy some veggies!" saying this she ran off as if she was running away from him. Luther just stood there, chuckling seeing her blushed face, "... What's wrong with me?"his heart also flutters a bit, but he ignored it and continue chopping the woods.

Amelia reaches the village, still trying to calm herself down, but her face was still a bit red. She went towards Michael's shop to buy the veggies.

Michael saw Amelia from a distance from his shop and wave to her. Amelia waves back slowly and walk towards him. Michael become worried when he saw Amelia face,"Are you sick ? Why is face so red?" he puts his hand on her forehead. "What?!... I-I am not sick", she quickly turns away her face.

Michael just look at her and didn't say anything. He sighs,"Well then, you can pick out the veggies." "Alright" Amelia bought some veggies and was about to go when Michael grabbed her hand. Amelia was stunned, and she turned around asking him what it was. "Are you...really alright? You are not hiding anything from me, right?", Michael asked, worriedly. Amelia smiles reassuring him as she slips her hand out of his grip,"I am really find. And what would I even hide from you anymore? You are worrying too much". Michael didn't say anything and just smiles. Amelia smiled back and went home.

Back at home, Luther had already finished chopping the woods and was waiting for Amelia to come back.

Amelia saw Luther waiting for her from a distance, and she felt quite happy. Back then, before she met Luther, there was no one to wait for her to return home, so she felt it quite comforting to see him.

"*pfft*...he looks like a puppy waiting for me", said to herself as she saw Luther sitting near the house and smiling broadly seeing her.

Amelia came near him and was about to go inside but then, Luther grab her hand and put her hand near his face. Amelia was flustered by his action,"What-" she was cut off by Luther who looked annoyed, "Why is there a foul smell coming from you?"

Amelia blushed, embarrassed thinking that Luther was implying that she stinks, "... Wh-what do you mean? If I stink that much then let go...*turns around her head, avoiding eye contact*

"When did I say that you stink?", looking at her confused," you only smell nice like a flower...what I meant was-*looks at her".

Amelia was a blushing mess,"*ahem* so what do you mean?", trying to remain calm, avoiding eye contact.
