Well, that was certainly... hrmm... ohh my~
Kinda wonder why she stopped herself from saying she loved her...
Perhaps some lingering doubt due to her previous messy relationship, like she is 99% into Donut but 1% still afraid of hurting Donut or getting hurt herself?
I would second that thought. In particular when considering her statement at the end: "If there is a next time, then... Well, let's just consider that your final exam." If there is...
You would think if she was confident of their relationship it would be "Next time, then... Well, let's just consider that your final exam." I think she is still uncertain of how serious Donut is about the whole thing..
