Loving Means Letting Go

Taken aback by what Cassidy just said, Adrian looked down at her again. 

She was not budging in his embrace, and she even appeared comfortable in his arms. He can tell she is pleased with the warmth he is sharing with her. Then again, she will have to do with anything in that state.

"You're so honest with your feelings, but at the same time, you're so reserved with them. Like in the past, there was something that made you burst out everything you kept holding back..." Cassidy mused out loud while looking back up to her husband, seemingly in a daze. 

"You must've been in a lot of pain, Adrian."

"As long you're not the one who's hurt, I'll be fine with it..." Adrian managed to say despite how much he wanted to hide away at that moment.
