Eyes widening, a light blush spreading across his cheeks in what might be a remnant of long-chased joy. He… didn’t remember anyone saying that to him before… Most people just told him he would have to get over his fears…]
[So Sunny squeezed out two more words.] T-thank you. [And then he held out his bowl of candy. Wanting her to have some in thanks.]
