Novel1"Carolyn's warmth was hard to resist, so in the end, Allison accepted the gift.
"Thank you, Ms. Witt."
Carolyn's smile was stunning. "Ms. Witt? Con, that's way too formal. We've
been through so much together. Just callLuna from now on, alright?"
Allison couldn't help but laugh.
That was sudden.
When Allison hesitated, Carolyn put on an exaggerated pout and huffed, "What,
you're not callingLuna because we're love rivals?"
She looked nothing like the intimidating boss Allison was used to. That little huff
was weirdly cute-almost playful. The contrast was pretty striking.
But there was real sincerity in Carolyn's eyes.
Allison gave it a try, a bit shy. "Luna."
Carolyn's smile widened, her eyes lighting up. "Allison."
It felt strange, but also kind of nice. Who would've thought love rivals could get
along like this? It was actually... refreshing.
Allison grinned. "Thanks again for the gift. | really like it."
"Good! | was worried it wouldn't be your thing," Luna replied, clearly relieved.
"I honestly thought you cto talk about the case," Allison admitted.
Luna waved it off. "There's nothing left to say-I already said my piece. | believe

"Thanks. I'll do my best."
The truth was, ever since the whole Cindy incident, Allison had realized that
beneath Carolyn's strong exterior, she was actually pretty genuine and even a
little naive sometimes. She gave her all to her friends, and ended up getting hurt
for it.
Allison felt bad for her, but knowing Carolyn's pride, she kept those feelings to
herself. Someone like Carolyn would hate being pitied.
What she really didn't expect was for Carolyn to reach out to her first.
"So, can we be friends?" Luna asked, looking at her with total sincerity.
Allison was caught off guard.
Luna dropped her gaze, suddenly looking a little dejected. "You don't want to,
huh?"
"It's not that," Allison said quickly,
reaching out to take her hand. "I was
just surprised, that's all. Didn't see it
coming."
"So that's a yes?" Luna's eyes brightened with hope.
Allison nodded.
Luna's smile practically glowed. "Awesome!"
Allison found herself smiling too, her mood lifting just from Luna's excitement.
"But there's one thing | have to say,"
Luna added, suddenly serious. "We
might be friends now, but I'm not
giving up on Joshua. We can both

Allison snorted at how earnest she sounded. "I never even thought about

Wait, what? Shouldn't she be happy?
Why did she actually feel bad for Allison?
Luna shook her head, trying to get rid of that ridiculous thought.

Allison stared at her. "Yeah, you're definitely crazy..."
