When he said that slowly, she was choked with tears and cried.
As if her tears were precious water, he drank every drop.
"It would be great if you could, " she said, with an unexpected smile.
They already knew that no matter how earnestly they hoped for it, they couldn't make it their reality. She embraced him, and he caressed her back.
"Thank you for saying so," she said.
"You're welcome. I'm sorry because that's all I can say at this point," he said.
Shaking her head, she said, "I'm sorry, too."
She stretched her upper body and said, "I'm sorry, too, because I couldn't hold your hand right away and I didn't have the nerve…"
And then she closed her eyes to forget about her fear and kissed his lips as if she sought comfort.
While kissing her, he caressed her adorably.
They were excited again when they touched.
They wanted to make the most of the time they were together. They couldn't spend tonight meaninglessly.
