Aurora's unexpected question surprised Renata and Danny.
They exchanged glances, seeking to bolster each other's courage before explaining to the girl why she had decided to close her restaurant: she needed time to mourn her best friend, Aurora Moon.
However, after a few moments of silence, Renata looked struggling to respond.
"Sis Renata, I apologize if my question seems insensitive and offends you. If my question makes you uncomfortable, please forget I ever ask..." Aurora smiled apologetically and as sincerely as possible.
Seeing her friends looking so sad made Aurora's heartache. Two of her best friends must be in shock and mourning over her sudden and painful death.
Just thinking about how they would react when they found out about her death made her eyes slowly blur.
Aurora tried hard to suppress her emotions, hoping she wouldn't cry in front of them. Otherwise, they might become confused and suspicious of her again.
