Palpitation

The car was being driven at a calm pace, amidst the woods. The weather seemed quite blissful, with cottony soft clouds floating in the clear blue sky.

Luna was leaning her head on Alex's shoulder, closing her eyes and emulsified in his warmth. He was gently caressing her back shoulder with his chin resting on her soft head.

"I have never felt so happy while returning back home... But, it indeed feels good to be back." She initiated the conversation and tenderly held his sturdy hands. Unknowingly, she started playing with his broad fingers.

"And I feel fulfilled that I am the one bringing you back home." He whispered softly.

She sighed and made a frown face while speaking, "but I feel a bit vexed... My waist will have the surgery marks now. I won't be able to wear a bikini on the beach."
