It almost felt as if those emotions would swallow me whole .
Do I … not look nice ? I asked reflexively .
Eric looked dazed for a few seconds before a faint smile appeared on his lips .
He stepped forward , extending a hand toward me .
Not at all .
You look very nice , he replied .
I smiled and placed a hand in his palm , feeling a wave of warmth rolling over me .
Its you who have good taste , 1 said good naturedly .

Even so , they all still showed surprise at the sight of Eric .
Some people even took the initiative to come forward and greet him .
