Out of Ashes Into His Heart novel Chapter 26

"Take it slow on your way back!"

After sending Dawn off, it was just me and Tom.

The atmosphere had been lively and cheerful when she had been present earlier. Now that she was gone, things felt a bit awkward.

"So…"

"You…"

We both spoke at the same time, then stopped, startled.

"You go first…"

"You go first…"

Again, we spoke in unison.

Tom curved his lips into a smile. "Are you full? Do you want to stroll around campus and relive the old days?"

"Can we even get in?" I asked, intrigued. "I heard non-students aren't allowed anymore."

Ever since graduation, I hadn't been back to Fuvine University. I missed those carefree university days terribly.

"Why not? Let's go."

Soon, Tom drove us to the campus gate. The barrier didn't lift, forcing him to stop the car. A security guard quickly approached.

"Sorry, but the university is currently enforcing strict rules. Non-students are not allowed entry."

I glanced at him, a little disappointed. "Maybe we should just forget it…"

But Tom simply smiled and lowered the window. "Is it alright for us to enter now?"

To my surprise, the security guard's demeanor instantly shifted to one of deference. "Of course! Please go ahead."

Immediately, the barrier in front of us rose, and Tom drove straight into the campus without any hindrance.

Stunned, I turned to look back at the security guard. "Why... Did they let us in?"

"Probably because I'm handsome."

I was speechless.
